Recently, “PFAS” has been making headlines, sparking some concerns. But what exactly is PFAS, and why is it crucial to be wary of its presence in everyday products? PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, represents a group of human-made chemicals that have gained notoriety due to their persistent nature and potential harmful effects on both human health and the environment. Delving into the intricacies of PFAS and its implications can shed light on the significance of opting for PFAS-free products, such as Smart Turf artificial grass.
Understanding PFAS
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) encompass a vast array of synthetic chemicals that have been widely utilized since the 1940s.
Their popularity primarily stems from their ability to repel oil and water, making them instrumental in various commercial and industrial applications, including the manufacturing of non-stick cookware, waterproof fabrics, firefighting foams, and more. Their resilient chemical structure makes them resistant to degradation, contributing to their persistence in the environment.
Concerns have arisen due to studies linking PFAS exposure to adverse health effects, including certain types of cancer. Lately, there has been some unrest about PFAS and it’s link to artificial grass.
Given these concerns, Smart Turf is happy to declare that our entire range of artificial grass products are completely PFAS free. Testing documents are available here.
