No.5 Football, Rubber Football, Soccer Ball Durable Quality Rubber for Practicing Training

Product Information

Measuring 7 inches from end to end and 3½-inches tall, it is a little on the small size. Combined with the heavy weight, it’s difficult to throw a perfect spiral. Even so, I was able to toss it a good distance before landing, giving our dogs a good chase. Watterson A. 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. We wanted to recommend a football that is both dog-proof yet closer in size to a regular football – for those of you who want to practice your long-pass plays.

Best of all, it can be washed. Toss it in your washing machine on the cold cycle, and you’ll remove any caked-on drool that has soaked into the fabric. After all, who wants slobbery dog toys hanging around the house? ECHA. Committee for risk assessment (RAC).

Our research showed the presence of a number of CMR substances in the rubber granulate on Dutch pitches, i.e., several PAHs, phthalates and benzothiazoles, BPA and metals like cadmium, cobalt and lead. From a regulatory perspective, it can be concluded that for all tested pitches the rubber granulate complies with the concentration limits set for mixtures of substances in Europe. From a risk assessment perspective, it can be concluded that exposure to these CMR substances presents no appreciable health risk, given the concentrations in which they occurred in or migrated from the rubber granulate currently in place on a representative number of STP in the Netherlands. PAHs appeared to be the substances of the highest concern, but even for this group of substances, the concentrations in which they are present do not result in additional cancer risks above the negligible risk level of one in a million. This is supported by the recent investigation by ECHA, in which it was concluded that the concern for lifetime cancer risk is very low given the concentrations of PAHs typically measured in European STP with rubber infill.

Gnawsome made a couple of pretty cool footballs. The Gnawsome Squeaker was covered in spikes, which our testers loved to chew on. Of the two, this was the superior football. The Squeak and Light also had an internal LED light that lit up on impact. At 4½-inches wide, neither of these footballs was very good for throwing. Our dogs found it difficult to wrap their jaws around the larger-sized balls – especially small to medium-sized dogs.

ECHA. Committee for risk assessment (RAC). Opinion on an Annex XV dossier proposing restrictions on four phthalates. ECHA/RAC/RES-O-0000001412-86-07/F. Adopted 15 June 2012. https://echa.europa.eu/documents/10162/77cf7d29-ba63-4901-aded-59cf75536e06.This generous set of sixteen rubber line markers allows you to create 6m (20ft) wide by 13 ½m (44ft) long football pitch anywhere. With the Football Training Marker Lines, you can customise your training sessions to your requirements. The compact size of these training aids means that they can also be used to make drills and boundaries during your coaching practice. The targeting on outdoor STP and amateur football players (children/adults) means that indoor STP and very small children playing, professional football players and workers installing or maintaining the STPs were not part of the risk assessment. Whereas indoor STP are not relevant for the Dutch situation (all STP are outdoor), it is noted that indoor STPs were included in the investigation by ECHA. No risk was identified, albeit a recommendation was made to take care of good ventilation in indoor halls, to avoid high concentrations of VOCs, some of which might cause irritation to the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. ECHA’s investigation also included a risk assessment for professional football players and for workers; for both target populations no risks were identified [ 12]. Exposure parameters Not only does it squeak, but it also holds up to strong bites. Our Labrador tester would go long, catch the pass, and then enthusiastically shake the ball around when she realized it squeaked! Despite the holes, it still feels like you are throwing a football. When it lands, it bounces unpredictably, often forcing dogs to change directions mid-chase.
