Operation and management of a work environment requires monitoring industrial hygiene and safety as well as understanding how to correct potentially hazardous situations. RJLG’s unique combination of full-service laboratory capabilities and project management experience qualifies us to provide comprehensive assessment and management services.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is investigating whether synthetic fields contain a high concentration of lead. It’s raising fears that athletes could ingest dust or particles from the playing surface. This comes on the heels of recent prompting by New Jersey State officials who closed some synthetic sports fields after discovering high levels of lead. RJLG is now testing for lead in artificial turf. Our analysts can perform nondestructive screening on a six inch square of the synthetic grass.
Analysis:
- Screening (Non-destructive)
- Sample analysis for Total Lead
- Availability Analysis (Surface Transferability)
- Leaching Potential
