About the Safe Fields Alliance

The Safe Fields Alliance (SFA) is a coalition dedicated to educating
stakeholders around the safety of synthetic turf fields and crumb
rubber, including that based on an overwhelming amount of scientific
evidence, there is no link between turf and crumb rubber and health
issues. Three of the leading North American manufacturers of synthetic
turf fields – FieldTurf, Sprinturf, and AstroTurf, working alongside
several leading recycled rubber manufacturers, came together to help
alleviate concerns related to this issue. For more information, please
