Establishes a moratorium on synthetic turf installation pending a comprehensive environmental and public health study.
New York A11156 establishes a moratorium on the installation of synthetic turf in cities with a population of one million or more, particularly in disadvantaged communities. This moratorium is in effect for six months or until the Department of Environmental Conservation completes a study on the environmental and public health risks of synthetic turf, whichever is later. The study will examine the health and environmental impacts of synthetic turf, including exposure routes and the persistence of degradation by-products.
