The environmental concerns are significant. Degradation of blades, backing and infill create 1-5 tons of microplastic pollution per year: in the soil, storm drains, waterways and lakes and beyond. They are an illicit violation of MS4 permits. The US EPA interim strategy for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in federally issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, signed Nov. 2020, is a necessary consideration.
