Join the NJ Chapter of the Sierra Club for this “Back to Grass” Webinar with Dr. Sarah Evans to learn about the health benefits of natural grass!
Dr. Sarah Evans, PhD, MPH, an Assistant Professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at Mount Sinai will share what the current scientific research tells us about chemical and heat exposures and risk of injury on artificial turf, and why well-maintained natural grass is a safe and healthy choice in areas where children play. We will wrap up with actionable guidance for municipal leaders regarding risk assessments and more.
