Survey of Chemical Substances in Consumer Products, No. 100, 2008

Mapping, emissions and environmental and health assessment of chemical substances in artificial turf

Abstract
The report contains a review of different European projects on the health and environmental effects of artificial turfs and results of laboratory tests on turfs that are being used in Denmark. The results show that there are no real problematic effects on health, but environmental effects can be expected under the worst circumstances. The effects can however be minimised by e.g. optimal drainage.

The Danish Environmental Protection Agency will, when opportunity offers, publish reports and contributions relating to environmental research and development projects financed via the Danish EPA.

Please note that publication does not signify that the contents of the reports necessarily reflect the views of the Danish EPA.

The reports are, however, published because the Danish EPA finds that the studies represent a valuable contribution to the debate on environmental policy in Denmark.
