New study finds no health risks from crumb rubber infill on synthetic turf

A new study from the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) adds important scientific insight to the discussion around synthetic turf. Concerns about potential chemical exposure from crumb rubber infill are often part of the synthetic turf debate - and OEHHA notes that these concerns were a key reason the study was initiated. After a multi-year Synthetic Turf Study of 35 different synthetic turf fields using crumb rubber infill, the study concludes that: It did not identify health risks for players, coaches, referees or spectators from on-field or off-field exposure to chemicals in crumb rubber infill. At Genan, we believe that the use of recycled materials in society should always be guided by solid science and transparent data. Studies like this contribute valuable knowledge to an ongoing discussion about how recycled rubber can be used safely and responsibly in society.

To help, we offer three concise guides: Construction & installation guide Maintenance guide Responsible conduct guide
