Provides for a public health study by the department of health on the installation of synthetic turf
This bill mandates a public health study by New York's Department of Health on synthetic turf containing crumb rubber (made from recycled tires). The study will examine health and environmental risks from installation, maintenance, and disposal, including exposure routes like inhalation and skin contact. The department must consult experts, review existing research, and issue a report to the governor and legislature within six months. Local governments, schools, and organizations using such turf will receive findings and information about safer alternatives.
