The ongoing discussion about PFAS and their harmful effects is impacting various industries, including the artificial turf sector. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemical compounds known for their long lifespan in the environment and potential health risks. These “forever chemicals” hardly break down and accumulate in the human body, making them particularly dangerous.
But what does this mean for artificial turf? And how do you make sure your choice of artificial turf is safe for people and the environment?
Why is PFAS in Artificial Turf a Problem?
Although artificial turf itself is not always directly linked to PFAS, there is a risk that some products may contain PFAS. PFAS are often used for their water-, stain-, and grease-resistant properties and may be found in the coatings or materials of artificial turf. This poses a risk, especially when artificial turf products are used extensively in gardens, playgrounds, and sports fields.
Thankfully, there’s a solution that helps you avoid this risk entirely.
