Annex XV report

an evalution of the possible health risks of recycled rubber granules used as infill in synthetic turf sports fields

European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) (2017). Annex XV report: an evalution of the possible health risks of recycled rubber granules used as infill in synthetic turf sports fields. European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).

ECHA has evaluated the human health risks from substances found in recycled rubber granules that are used as an infill material in synthetic turf, such as that used in outdoor and indoor football fields. ECHA has found no reason to advise people against playing sports on synthetic turf containing recycled rubber granules as infill material. This advice is based on ECHA’s evaluation that there is a very low level of concern from exposure to substances found in the granules. This is based on the current evidence available. However, due to the uncertainties, ECHA makes several recommendations to ensure that any remaining concerns are eliminated.
