Does your Turf Contain Lead?
Your sample should consist of at least six blades. Collect any loose blades scattered on the turf surface. If those are not available, cut or pull some blades from an area of turf from an area that will not impact the usability of the turf system. Put the blades in a small bag (for example, a zip-lock bag) or envelope. Some turf has two different blade types (often “straight” blades with “curly” blades underneath); if so, send a sample of both. If there are lines or logos that are different colors you are welcome to send us a sample of each color. There is no charge for this screening. The Center of Environmental Health will provide screening results within two weeks of receiving your sample.
