Much has been studied and reported about the health risks associated with artificial turf, especially concerning the safety of children who play on synthetic surfaces at schools, playgrounds, or homes. Should parents and homeowners be concerned about lead and other harmful toxins in synthetic grass? The answer is no.
Years ago, studies of first generation synthetic turf grass revealed elevated levels of lead. But a lot has changed since then. Lead is no longer used as a pigment ingredient in synthetic turf products. Today’s synthetic turf products are completely safe; in fact, they are manufactured to not only meet but also exceed EPA standards for Lead, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission agrees.
According to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, “young children are not at risk from exposure to lead in these fields.” The report also states that there has not been one documented case of human sickness or environmental damage caused by synthetic lawn turf.
