Where these two actually differ
- We flag VOC off-gassing from polyurethane or latex adhesive, Polypropylene UV degradation and microplastic shedding, Backing adhesive failure and fiber separation and Infill contamination (if rubber granules used) on the AstroTurf and not on the LITA.
- We flag Flame retardants in infill and backing, VOC off-gassing from adhesives and coatings, Microplastic shedding from fiber degradation and Mold and bacterial growth in wet backing on the LITA and not on the AstroTurf.
- The AstroTurf is Polypropylene (PP) astroturf where the LITA is Polyethylene or polypropylene fibers with backing and coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the AstroTurf is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the LITA grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
