| 2019-15761 | Availability of Synthetic Turf Field Recycled Tire Crumb Rubber Research Under the Federal Research Action Plan Final Report: Part 1-Tire Crumb Rubber Characterization | Notice | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the release of the Synthetic Turf Field Recycled Tire Crumb Rubber Research Under the Federal Research Action Plan Final Report: Part 1-- Tire Crumb Rubber Characterization. In February 2016, EPA, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) launched the Federal Research Action Plan (FRAP) on Recycled Tire Crumb Used on Playing Fields and Playgrounds. The goal of this research effort under the FRAP is to characterize potential human exposures to the substances associated with recycled tire crumb rubber used on synthetic turf fields. Playgrounds are addressed separately by CPSC. Results of the effort are being reported in two parts. Part 1 (this document) communicates the research objectives, methods, results and findings for the tire crumb rubber characterization research (i.e., what is in the material). Part 2, to be released at a later date, will document efforts to characterize potential human exposures to the chemicals found in the tire crumb rubber material while using synthetic turf fields, and will include information from a biomonitoring study initiated by CDC/ATSDR. The timeline and information about the Part 2 report will be posted to the agency's website as it becomes available. Neither Part 1 nor Part 2 of this study, separately or combined, will constitute an assessment of the risks associated with playing on synthetic turf fields with recycled tire crumb rubber infill. The results of the research described in both Part 1 and Part 2 of this study should inform future risk assessments. | 2019-07-25 | 2019 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/07/25/2019-15761/availability-of-synthetic-turf-field-recycled-tire-crumb-rubber-research-under-the-federal-research | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-07-25/pdf/2019-15761.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the release of the Synthetic Turf Field Recycled Tire Crumb Rubber Research Under the Federal Research Action Plan Final Report: Part 1-- Tire Crumb Rubber Characterization.
