Is artificial turf safe?

15 of the 67 artificial turf products we graded come back low-concern on our screen and 52 do not. Our grades are model-based assessments built from published materials, ingredient lists, certifications and brand disclosures, not laboratory tests, so they say what we can evidence rather than that anything is safe.

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