Science Confirms What We’ve Known—Crumb Rubber Fields Are Safe

At Sparton Enterprises, safety, performance, and sustainability have always been core to our mission. That’s why we welcome the findings of a new, comprehensive federal study that confirms what industry professionals and users alike have long understood: there is no significant health risk associated with playing on synthetic turf fields that use crumb rubber infill.

This multi-agency study—conducted over several years by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)—delivers one of the most thorough assessments to date. After analyzing samples from across the country and evaluating chemical exposure pathways, the study concluded that users of these fields are not exposed to levels of harmful substances that would pose a concern for human health.

For Sparton Enterprises, these findings reaffirm the quality and integrity of the materials we manufacture and distribute. Our crumb rubber infill is a product of innovation, engineered performance, and commitment to the environment. We source responsibly, process efficiently, and ensure our materials meet or exceed safety standards.
