2013-4-8 There are several kinds of synthetic turf surfaces (e.g., surfaces that use a fill material (“infill”) between the blades of artificial grass and those that do not), and synthetic turf may be installed for different uses (e.g., single or multiple sport athletic fields, landscaping, golf applications). The focus of this fact sheet is athletic fields with crumb rubber infilled synthetic turf. This fact sheet was developed to assist people in making decisions about installing or using this kind of synthetic turf athletic field. Considerations related to other kinds of synthetic turf
The focus of this fact sheet is athletic fields with crumb rubber infilled synthetic turf. This fact sheet was developed to assist people in making decisions about installing or using this kind of synthetic turf athletic field. Considerations related to other kinds of synthetic turf fields are not addressed in this fact sheet.
2008-9-23 Crumb-Rubber Infilled Synthetic Turf Field Study Fact Sheet Overview of the Study The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is conducting a study due to recent public health and environmental concerns about exposure to chemicals found in the crumb rubber portion of synthetic turf
2021-6-22 and the mechanism of exposures for each individual who utilizes the crumb rubber infilled playing surface differs (i.e. body weight, amount of crumb rubber infill ingested or taken in through dermal contact and inhalation). A study in 2012, Kim et al., described how the ingestion of crumb rubber infill resulted in increased exposure to
No, synthetic turf fields made with crumb rubber infill do contain chemicals that have been shown to cause cancer. However, what is critical to consider are the routes of exposure and potential dose someone receives. The available research suggests exposures from crumb rubber are very low and will not cause cancer among soccer players.
2019-8-16 What is Crumb Rubber? Crumb rubber is created by shredding scrap tires or other rubber into small pellets. The steel and other fibers in scrap tires are removed in the manufacturing process. How is it used? Crumb rubber is used in a variety of products including playground and other sports surfacing, and rubber-modified asphalt. Crumb rubber used as a filler in synthetic turf fields helps
2017-5-11 Most synthetic turf fields have crumb rubber interspersed among the simulated grass fibers to reduce athletic injuries by allowing users to turn and slide more readily as they play sports or exercise on the fields. Recently, the crumbs have been implicated in causing cancer in adolescents and young adults who use the fields, particularly lymphoma and primarily in soccer goalkeepers. This concern
Turf Infill was started when we saw a gap in the synthetic turf infill market directly sourcing solely EPDM crumb for its clients and projects. We are based in North East where the forefront of rubber crumb toxicity made its name heard early in the 2000’s. Reports of disease and chemical leaching led us to pursue a sustainable, cost-effective route of operations where we knew we could make a lasting impact.

In the fall of 2014, NBC television broadcasted a segment that proposed a link between the crumb rubber used in infilled synthetic turf fields and several soccer goalies who had contracted an uncommon type of lymphoma.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the surface hardness of varying configurations of an infilled synthetic turf system called SofSport™ under wet and dry conditions. Specifically, we wanted to determine 1) the effect of underlying pad

New configurations of synthetic turf, infilled systems, have been introduced into the market place. These infilled systems are comprised of vertical fibers that are much longer than traditional synthetic turf and can be filled with sand and crumb rubber (infill media).

2012-8-29 Artificial turf or ‘synthetic turf’ is made of plastic blades of grass, backing material to hold the blades, and infill (usually crumb rubber that helps support the blades). Crumb rubber infill is estimated to be about 90% of the weight of fields, thus forming the vast majority of the playing surface.
