Council wants to ban artificial grass on nature strips over microplastics and PFAS concerns

"Fake lawns produce microplastics and contain PFAS chemicals that should not be near gutters. Artificial turf has PFAS and it's not good for our stormwater...If it gets into the stormwater, it can contaminate it... It can get up to 90 degrees …It also leeches microplastics into the waterways, impacting ecosystems. And finally, it will eventually end up in landfill."
