stage 4 he was a young goalkeeper on the soccer team. >> the doctors never had a good answer. >> reporter: years later after beating the cancer, he saw university of washington soccer coach. two of her goalkeepers have been diagnosed with similar cancers, a terrible coincidence she thought until taking one of her sick players for chemotherapy. the nurse said, you are like the fourth goal keeper i hooked up this week. >> reporter: the goalie had a theory. >> she says i have a feeling it has something to do with the black dots. >> reporter: the black dots crum rubber are shredded car and truck tires, used in turf fields between artificial blades of grass. they contain the capitals found in most tires t. international agency for cancer research labels four carcinogens. adding at low levels of exposure, they are considers
7:43 am
safe. on a soccer field, goalkeepers, more than any other player roll around on the turf every practice. >> you end up ingesting the crum rubber by accident. it's unavoidable. >> reporter: he reached out to coach griffin. now he's on the list, names they gather of soccer players who have developed different times of cancer, 38 altogether, 34 of them are goalkeepers a. list is not scientific proof. there is no research wage linking crum rubber exposure to cancer. >> mr. of them are lymph-related cancers. there are others in there, too. what i would say is that in general it's very difficult to study the environment, the relationship between environmental exposure and cancer. >> reporter: no available studies replicate goalkeeper's playing conditions, but many researchers, states and localitys defend the turf safety. david lee has a ph.d. in chemistry and sits on the turf
7:44 am
board. >> there is certainly a preponderance of evidence to this point that said it is safe. >> reporter: an nbc news investigation put that assertion to the test, gathering available studies and speaking with pediatricians, scientists and advocacy groups who say more research should be done. >> turf fields come with a number of real risks and a number of real benefits and every community that's based with deciding what they want to put in has to kind of weigh in the different risks and benefits for that situation. >> reporter: among the available studies the synthetic turf council points to was one done by the e in 2009. the agency, itself, describes the conclusions as limited. nbc news repeatedly requested an interview. after several e-mails and two phone calls, the e refused. in a statement, a spokesperson says the use of crum rubber remains a state and local decision and more testing feeds to be done. well, if more research needs to be done, why are we allowing our children to play on this
7:45 am
surface? >> sure. more research can always be done. the question is whether or not the synthetic turf is safe. we got 14 studies on our website that says we can find no negative health effects. >> reporter: pro athletes and school kids alike are playing on more than 5,000 crum rubber fields around the country. new york city parks and los angeles schools no longer install the surface, citing multiple health concerns. other cities with the turch say it's cheaper and more durable than grass and provides more outdoor space for kids to play. sullivan wants his girls to play soccer burks he worries about their exposure to crum rubber. >> our oldest is four-years-old. she started playing soccer. i wouldn't want her to be a goalkeeper. >> anybody that has a kid has seen this stuff. you were talking about it. soccer football, whatever the sport s. there is no medical connection right now between these people getting sick and the turf they are playing on. this is a calm for more research
7:46 am
to look further into it. right? >> yeah, that's absolutely right t. wide ranging research that's being called for my some people is both difficult and very expensive. and many of the people we catted with have said they hope the federal government will step in, in some way, and conduct that kind of research. both the e and the consumer product safety commission have done studies in the past, limited studies. now people like coach griffin you saw in that piece with casey sullivan are hoping they step in and do much more. >> it sounds like some people will step in now. thank you so much for that report. really interesting. coming up, we will sit down with the legendary members of fleetwood mac. >> first, here's a question for you. do you dress your pet up for halloween? carson is in the orange room with costumes you have to see carson is in the orange room with costumes you have to see this i knew my life as i knew itr, would never be the same. everything stopped. and i just said, "i'm going to beat this." and that's when i found living beyond breast cancer.
