Product Information

Look at your hands. Soft and smooth, right? Now, look at your dog’s mouth. See that cavern that is filled with teeth as sharp as daggers? These teeth are designed for ripping and tearing – they can do some serious damage! If you want to splash out a bit more, there’s the Delta Max, which features outer material made of a microfibre PU that is more durable and better protected against scuffs and scratches than that used on the Delta One.

Artificial turf: contested terrains for precautionary public health with particular reference to Europe? Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2017. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28895924. The migration experiments focused on the migration of PAHs, phthalates and metals from rubber granulate into (artificial) sweat and gastrointestinal juices, and on volatile substances that could evaporate from rubber granulate under warm weather conditions. For the migration into sweat, rubber granulate was covered with artificial sweat and left to stand in a Petri dish for 2 h at 37 °C. The Tiny-TIM model [ 15] was used to simulate the digestion of rubber granulate in the gastrointestinal tract. This model is an in vitro system consisting of two compartments that simulate the conditions in the stomach and the small intestine. During the experiment, peristalsis is simulated in both compartments for a total of 4 h at 37 °C, upon addition of artificial saliva, gastric and intestinal juices. With headspace analysis, the evaporation of volatile substances was determined following heating of rubber granulate for minimally 6 h at 60 °C, using a standard mixture of 65 VOCs as reference [ 14]. The mini size would suit a toy breed such as a Chihuahua while the larger size is perfect for a Great Dane – a football for all dogs. Make sure you buy the appropriate size for your dog. The small size will hold up just fine for a Yorkie but will easily be crunched to pieces by a Rottweiler.

The main uncertainties in the risk assessment performed relate to the targeted approach taken, the assumptions and values taken for some exposure parameters, and the toxicological reference values used for some prioritised substances. These are discussed below. In addition, an assessment of the combined health effects of all the substances present in rubber granulate was beyond the scope of the study. This uncertainty is, however, not considered to affect the main conclusions of the risk assessment. The assessment further only examined a single source of exposure to a substance, namely from rubber granulate. As such, the exposure to the prioritised substances was shown not to present a health risk. But as these substances occur in other sources as well, rubber granulate may still contribute to a possible health risk when the total exposure via all sources exceeds the toxicological reference value of a substance. For substances with very low RCRs (e.g., the phthalates and benzothiazoles), there is room for other sources of exposure. For lead, however, the intake via food is already higher than what is tolerable from a toxicological perspective. Exposure via rubber granulate will add to this, but not much, as exposure to lead via rubber granulate is at least 7.5- to 10-fold lower compared with lead ingested via food. Also for PAHs rubber granulate is one of many sources of exposure; others include, for example, exhaust fumes, tyre particulates, cigarette smoke, burned wood (open fire) and meat (barbecue). Compared with food as the most important source of PAHs for the general population (non-smokers), the estimated exposure via rubber granulate (37–98 ng/day versus 1800–4900 ng/day via food for the ECHA-8 PAHs) is marginal. PAHs exposure via food may even be significantly higher when a person eats barbecued meat on a regular basis [ 38]. Targeted approach ECHA. Committee for risk assessment (RAC).

An increased risk of leukaemia and lymphoma, the two cancer types for which specific concern was expressed in the TV broadcast, was not evident from our investigation. Substances known or suspected to be associated with these types of cancer were either not detected in any of the rubber granulate samples (benzene, styrene and 1,3-butadiene), or present in such low concentrations (2-MBT) that no risk can be expected. From our results, it can further be seen that it is primarily the PAHs in rubber granulate that may potentially lead to an increased cancer risk. For PAHs, there is, however, no clear link with leukaemia and lymphoma [ 35, 36]. Bleyer and Keegan recently concluded that avoidance of STP for fear of increased cancer risk is not warranted. Their study in California, the state in the US with the greatest number of STP with crumb rubber, showed no association between individual-level exposures to such turf fields and malignant lymphoma [ 37].

In reality, it’s more like watching the Puppy Bowl. But you can make it slightly more realistic by swapping out the usual tennis ball for a doggy football. Although for all three prioritised metals, the migration was only tested in a small number of samples, the results appear to show that their migration into sweat and saliva/gastric juice/intestinal juice does not exceed the migration limits as set in the Toy Safety Directive [ 19]. No additional contribution from exposure via inhalation of vapour is expected for the prioritised metals, given their very low vapour pressure. BPA

Measuring 9½-inches wide and 4½-inches tall, the Kong Ballistic feels good in the hand. I was able to precisely throw it from behind my kitchen table and down the hall and into the end room – the pitter patter of our Corgi’s feet on the wooden flooring could be heard as he chased after it.The stitching held strong despite a Corgi, Labrador and Mastiff all roughly playing with it. No sign of loose threads. If your dog Another one from Kong. The Jumbler Football Toy had a handle on each end and a tennis ball in the middle. It’s actually quite a unique toy.

The risk assessment indicated that the oral and dermal routes are the main contributors to the exposure of amateur football players to substances in rubber granulate; the inhalation route appeared not to contribute. No concern was identified for their exposure to the prioritised phthalates, benzothiazoles, BPA and metals in rubber granulate from Dutch STP, not even under worst-case conditions, as the estimated exposures to these substances were below the exposures that would lead to adverse effects on health. The prioritised PAHs appeared to be the substances of the highest concern, but even for this group of substances the measured migration from the Dutch field samples resulted in estimated additional cancer risks that were just above the negligible risk level of one in a million. The results from the present investigation are in concordance with the findings in previous national and international investigations into the health risks of rubber granulate [ 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34], and were recently confirmed in the investigation by ECHA [ 12].
