At this point it is known for a fact that Polytrack reduces injuries. As for the dust it generates, the EPA has found no hazzardous material in any of it's ingrediants. The silica it contains is wax coated and too large to get into the alvioli of the lungs. It's microscopic stuff that can be harmfull and there isn't anything microscopic (or macroscopic) in Polytrack that is dangerous.
I'll go with something that has been proven to save lives over vague speculation any day.
The dust problem can be alleviated if Tufway bothered to water the track more often. Everything kicks up dust if allowed to dry too much. LOW maintanence does not mean NO maintanence.
