Crumb rubber is "safe for use in artificial turf"

ERJ staff report (DS)

California, US -- The Corporation for Manufacturing Excellence (Manex) and the Laboratory for Manufacturing and Sustainability (LMAS) at the University of California, Berkeley, say7 they have released the results of their study on the impact, effectiveness, and safety of recycled tyre crumb in artificial turf applications.

The two organisations claim their research is, "among the most comprehensive reports to date," though they decline to say what their conclusions are, beyond saying, "artificial turf containing recycled crumb rubber is quite safe and cost-effective when compared to natural turf alternatives.”
