A new policy brief offers a series of recommendations on how schools become more heat-resilient.
That requires reconfiguring playgrounds to make them cooler, said Perry Sheffield, a pediatrician and an environmental medicine researcher at Mount Sinai in New York City. In addition to shade, swapping heat-absorbing materials like asphalt and rubber for grass and wood chips helps cool things down.
On a playground in the San Fernando Valley, Turner said, she once measured 145-degree asphalt and 162-degree rubber — hot enough to cause a third-degree burn in seconds. To help schools make the best use of funding for extra trees, Turner and her graduate student Morgan Rogers are modeling how increasing the tree canopy to 30% can affect heat stress. They will compare different tree configurations, like dispersed or clustered, and hope to issue recommendations this fall.
