Crumb rubber is often recommended as an infill material placed between the blades of an artificial grass lawn; it’s used to stand up fake turf blades and to create a softer feeling when walked on. But some people are reasonably concerned about the health risks associated with using crumb rubber. Is a material made from reclaimed tires safe to use around children? Yes; this popular infill option for synthetic turf fields is harmless.
According to research and studies since the late 1980s, crumb rubber is a safe infill material for children and people of all ages. It has been safely used in synthetic turf products since 1997. But that’s not all. Artificial residential turf is not the only product that features crumb rubber. It can be found in many consumer products, ranging from children’s toys to food packaging; it’s even found in gum. The reality is crumb rubber is a material human beings come in contact with on a daily basis.
