“CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the surface on which soccer is played influences the oxidative stress levels.”

Turf burns are electric burns – they cause oxidative stress from ROS generation which can lead to cancer.  Friction with the synthetic surfaces will strip billions of electrons from the athlete every time they slide.
