Rally to Ban Artificial Turf with Toxic PFAS in Philadelphia City Properties September 5, 2024

Unicorn Riot

Several community and environmental groups rallied outside of City Hall Thursday morning to demand the City Council “ban artificial turf installation on city property including parks and recreation centers.” The leading concern is that artificial turf almost always contains toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” that can harm both humans and wildlife.

Speakers included representatives from PSR Pennsylvania. Watch video from the rally below.
