Why AstroTurf SeeGreen 5 ft. W X 7 ft. L Green wins, and what it beats

Every grade on this page is one sum. A category starts from a baseline, each disclosed material or coating adds risk points, and each thing the brand or a third party has published takes them away. Below is that sum for the winner, then for 3 products it beats, so you can see exactly where the 45 points between the top and the bottom of this artificial turf ranking come from.

The verdict on artificial turf

AstroTurf SeeGreen 5 ft. W X 7 ft. L Green Polypropylene Astroturf grades 75 out of 100, the highest here. It is polypropylene (pp) astroturf. We found no PFAS statement from the brand, so the grade rests on materials alone.

Choose 34 Oz Padded Gym Artificial Turf instead if you want a second option at 75 out of 100, polyethylene turf fibers, polypropylene backing.

We hold no price data, so nothing here is a budget recommendation. Grades are model-based assessments from published materials and disclosures, not laboratory tests.

The artificial turf we would skip

Lowest scoring in this category, worst first, with the reason.

How to read these scores. PFAS Authority is a scoring system, not a laboratory. We do not test products ourselves. Each grade is a model-based assessment built from published ingredient lists, materials, certifications, brand disclosures, recalls and third-party lab results where they exist. Read the full rubric to see exactly what adds and removes points.

What we check on artificial turf

  • Confirmed PFAS, PTFE or fluoropolymer content, which is the heaviest penalty we apply.
  • Stain, water or grease resistant treatments, which usually mean fluorinated chemistry.
  • Whether the brand discloses what is in the product, or stays silent behind a “clean” claim.
  • Independent lab results and certifications where they exist.

The artificial turf brands we found no PFAS statement from

We found no PFAS statement from 20 of the brands here. That is our research, not proof a brand has never said anything, and it is not evidence of harm. It is why none of them score well on disclosure.

Common questions about PFAS in artificial turf

Is artificial turf PFAS free?

52 of the 67 artificial turf products PFAS Authority has graded score below its 70 point pass mark for PFAS and other toxins, 77.6% of the category, as of October 2026, leaving 15 that pass. The highest graded is AstroTurf SeeGreen 5 ft. W X 7 ft. L Green Polypropylene Astroturf at 75 out of 100. The lowest graded is TIGS Money Putt Golf Turf, 15' / 5' at 30 out of 100.

Is artificial turf non-toxic?

15 of the 67 artificial turf products we graded clear our screen and 52 do not. Non-toxic is not a defined or regulated term, so what we can tell you is what our graders recorded. Beyond PFAS, the hazards found or left unruled-out on artificial turf products in this category are microplastics, VOCs and off-gassing, flame retardants, formaldehyde, artificial dyes. The highest graded here is AstroTurf SeeGreen 5 ft. W X 7 ft. L Green Polypropylene Astroturf at 75 out of 100.

What is the safest artificial turf to buy?

On our grades, AstroTurf SeeGreen 5 ft. W X 7 ft. L Green Polypropylene Astroturf at 75 out of 100, which we band as Excellent. Then 34 Oz Padded Gym Artificial Turf at 75. These are model-based assessments from published materials, ingredient lists, certifications and disclosures, not laboratory tests, so treat them as the lowest risk we can evidence rather than a safety guarantee.

Which artificial turf grades best for PFAS?

AstroTurf SeeGreen 5 ft. W X 7 ft. L Green Polypropylene Astroturf, at 75 out of 100, which we band as Excellent. It is polypropylene (pp) astroturf. The runner up is 34 Oz Padded Gym Artificial Turf at 75.

Which artificial turf should I avoid?

The three lowest scoring we hold are TIGS Money Putt Golf Turf, 15' / 5' at 30, DuraGrass Artificial Grass Hybrid Turf Patch at 30, Lifeproof with Petproof Technology Premium Pet Turf Green Artificial Grass Rug at 30. The problem with the first is that artificial turf may use PFAS for drainage. Brand won't disclose.

Which artificial turf brands have not published a PFAS statement?

We found no PFAS statement from 20 of the brands we scored in this category, including AstroTurf, At Home, COLOURTREE, Concord Global, DuraGrass, Everlast Turf. That is what our research turned up, not proof a brand has never said anything, and a missing statement is not evidence of harm. It is the reason those brands cannot score well on disclosure.

Do you lab test artificial turf?

No. We score from published ingredient lists, materials, certifications, disclosures and third party lab results where they exist. Where a product has been independently tested we use that result and say so.
