Synthetic Turf/Recycled Tire Crumb Rubber Research Program
What is crumb rubber? In a synthetic turf field, infill materials are spread between the “grass” fibers to provide cushioning and traction. The infill typically consists of “crumb rubber”—shredded rubber particles made from recycled automotive tires. Crumb rubber from recycled tires contains

This Synthetic Turf Field Tire Crumb Rubber Research Under the Federal Research Action Plan Final Report: Part 1—Tire Crumb Rubber Characterization summarizes the findings from the Tire Crumb Characterization research effort. While the research under the FRAP is not a risk assessment, the results of the research described in this and future reports will advance the understanding of exposure to inform the risk assessment process.

July 2019 Report: Tire Crumb Rubber Characterization
EPA is releasing a new report that addresses exposure (that is, chemicals and how people come in contact with these) to tire crumb rubber on synthetic turf fields. This report is not a risk assessment, nor can the information be used to identify a level above which health effects could occur.

Synthetic Turf/Recycled Tire Crumb Rubber
A standard synthetic turf field uses infill materials, such as crumb rubber, which is spread between the fibers to provide cushioning and traction. In recent years, the use of tire crumb rubber has led to public concern for potential health risks, as athletes and children dive and play on these surfaces and may be exposed to chemicals with ...

News & Resources – Recycled Rubber Facts
The "Synthetic Turf Field Recycled Tire Crumb Rubber Research Under the Federal Research Action Plan, Final Report, Part I" highlights what we already know about crumb rubber infill in synthetic turf fields: crumb rubber is made of the same components found in everyday consumer products, and hospital and classroom floors. The report reconfirms that the mere presence of a substance does not equate with human exposure, and recognizes substances are also present in grass fields and other types ...

Crumb Rubber | CPSC.gov
Tire Crumb Rubber Research. Researchers at EPA are currently evaluating the samples to characterize the chemical make-up of tire crumbs. An additional study activity will gather activity data from people who regularly perform activities on turf fields. Collection of tire crumb samples from fields and recycling facilities is complete.

The National Toxicology Program Research on Synthetic Turf
Synthetic turf fields have been used for decades, and throughout this time the technology and composition of the fields have evolved. In attempts to lower injury rates and mimic play experienced on grass fields, infill materials were added for cushioning and traction. Most recently, crumb rubber (CR) has been employed as the infill material.

Federal Research on Recycled Tire Crumb Used on Playing Fields
This multi-agency research effort, known as the Federal Research Action Plan on Recycled Tire Crumb Used on Playing Fields and Playgrounds (FRAP), is focused on assessing potential human exposure, which includes conducting research activities to characterize the chemicals associated with tire crumb rubber and to identify the ways in which people may be exposed to those chemicals based on their activities on synthetic turf fields.
