NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF SYNTHETIC LAWN/TURF
-
No pollinators or other wildlife are able to rely on synthetic lawns for their survival.
-
Off-gassing from the synthetic lawn produces an unattractive toxic chemical odor.
-
The surface temperature and air temperature above synthetic lawn increases significantly during heat waves.
-
Polluting leaf blowers are consistently used to remove leaf litter and other natural debris from synthetic lawns.
-
Toxic petrochemical herbicides are consistently used to prevent “weeds” from growing in or around the synthetic lawn.
-
Recycled tire bedding ends up in storm drain.
