Is Artificial Turf Safe According To Experts?

The rising popularity of artificial turf safety has brought interest from health experts. A two-year study was conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Environmental Protection. The results of the study show that risks for cancer were only slightly above “minimal levels for all scenarios involved”. This basically means that the risk of cancer was only raised by a trivial amount. This small increase is no higher than the normal risks associated with going outside with ambient pollution.

Overall, both outdoor and indoor artificial turf fields do not possess any serious health risks.
