LGUSD reassures families the infill is "organic". Greenwashing?


The Children’s Environmental Health Center of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai cautions in its artificial turf consumer guide: "Beware of greenwashing: the use of terms like “organic”, “green”, and “Eco” do not guarantee safety. In fact, those terms are not regulated for turf products, so their meaning in this context is at best ambiguous."
