Polymers in the Field

After reading the article I was particularly interested in the use of old tires to make the granules for the field. I had wondered how they removed the metal fragments and was not surprised to find out that they used magnets. Another other issue that interested me was the heat that is "given off" by the field. I recall this being mentioned by the maintenance staff when they were setting up for graduation(the ceremony was held indoors that year). Lastly I was left to wonder if the field has to be sanitized since it was noted that on natural surfaces the microbes in the ground decompose blood and saliva. (110 words)
