Talk:Rubber mulch

So if you use rubber mulch for playgrounds, won't the kids eat it? Pipatron 12:36, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see this as being more significant with rubber mulch than with wood mulch, sand, grass, legos, etc. Kids will put anything in their mouths and I don't think that rubber mulch is more hazardous in that respect than other things. Phasmatisnox (talk) 21:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Zinc
I have removed references to Zinc toxicity from this article. Zinc is used as a fertilizer(http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/cropsystems/DC0720.html) and plants can exhibit zinc deficiency. In addition, the ASM publication Metallurgy for the Non-Metallurgist cites Zinc oxide as an important soil nutrient. Although a radical overexposure of Zinc could cause toxicity, the amounts leached by rubber mulch do not approach even the levels used as fertilizer. Based on this evidence, I am going to disregard Zinc toxicity from rubber mulch as pseudoscience. Phasmatisnox (talk) 20:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
