The safety of artificial turf is currently a concern for people, as recent incidents of toxic running tracks and playgrounds have raised concerns and once again shaken the tension of people's health. Nowadays, the artificial turf industry in China is mixed and uneven. Many small manufacturers flood the market with price advantages, but they also bring health and quality risks. So, will more formal artificial turf manufacturers have quality problems? Will there be any health issues? This is probably also a concern for many schools, clubs, and other organizations. Now, let's start with health issues and discuss this issue in detail.
The materials of artificial turf are mainly polypropylene, nylon, polyethylene, etc., all of which belong to chemical products and are equivalent to the common plastics in our daily lives. At present, most artificial lawns on the market are made mainly of polyethylene and polypropylene, which do not produce toxic gases under high temperatures, such as direct sunlight in summer. The main reason why artificial turf can cause harm is due to fibrosis. Under direct ultraviolet radiation, the grass fibers become harder, and after acid rain, the grass fibers become brittle. In addition, after natural weathering and aging in the later stage, the artificial turf deteriorates. The particles produced by moving on it can enter the human body through breathing and cause diseases. However, at present, there has been significant progress and improvement in the production process of lawns. Taking grass fibers as an example, the fine particles produced by lawn decay are much larger than those produced before. These particles cannot enter the human body with human respiration, which solves health problems.
In addition to the above, before the artificial turf is paved, the formal paving site will pass relevant tests, and the artificial turf will be subject to strict quality inspection. Generally, the formal artificial turf manufacturers have passed a series of tests and inspections, including anti-aging, UV resistance, radiation resistance, abrasion resistance, etc., before the products leave the factory, and will provide relevant test reports. Therefore, the quality and health problems have been the pursuit of the past for many large artificial turf manufacturers. For the current artificial turf manufacturers, the biggest vision is to produce artificial turf with the same performance as natural turf, so that people can really enjoy the flavor of nature in the environment of artificial turf.
