Mt Sinai: Because adequate risk assessments have NOT been conducted, CONSUMERS need to understand the potential health risks.

Adequate risk assessment studies of the safety of artificial turf have NOT been conducted.


Dig deeper than the marketing claims provided by the artificial turf industry to learn what chemicals artificial turf products contain and what the potential long-term health risks may be.  (If you're in LGUSD, while you may disregard the cautions about recycled tires since LGUSD is proposing an alternative infill material, plenty of chemical concerns remain for the products LGUSD is proposing.)

Who do you trust? Mt. Sinai's Children's Environmental Health Center or misguided (albeit well-meaning) influencers parroting the marketing tactics used by the synthetic turf industry?
