more environmentally friendly synthetic grass

more environmentally friendly synthetic grass

     Turf maintenance time-consuming and labor-intensive, synthetic grass can not be recycled, but slightly better without fertilization and maintenance, environmental protection.

     Four grass contaminated sin

     Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and the same is true of the grass. Grass can absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, but the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Agency, the study found that the United States about 4000 mu of grassland, the annual carbon dioxide absorption is about 600 kg, but it was almost all the production of fertilizers and lawn mower caused CO2 emissions offset. The following is a grass four offenses of environmental pollution.

    First, the planting and maintenance of the grass to consume a lot of water. Each year in the United States each turf average water up to 82,000 liters. Planted in the sand on the turf, especially water consumption, because the water will quickly penetrate. In addition, if the inappropriate season turf, water consumption will be higher.

    Secondly, the mower will not only noise, but also emit large quantities of exhaust gas. University of Stockholm, Sweden, in 2001, the survey found, mower operating exhausts one hour is equivalent to driving 150 km of displacement.

    Furthermore, the American family's annual fertilizer use grass as high as 300 million tons, need to consume 1180 million barrels of oil. In addition, the turf maintenance every year consumption of 31.75 million kilograms of pesticides and herbicides.

    Fourth, if the cut grass can not be reasonably disposed of, the river water will cause pollution.

    synthetic grass have pros and cons

    People began turning to synthetic grass. Admittedly, synthetic grass in the manufacturing process will consume a lot of energy, and can not be recycled. However, this, Canada Athena Institute study found that the measures such as planting trees and other carbon and means to offset the negative factors in environmental protection, synthetic grass slightly better
.
    Many environmentalists accuse Once inhaled particles of rubber filled synthetic grass will harm human health. In this regard, those of the synthetic grass industry countered that, so worried that there is no scientific basis for this rubber particles only in sports laying before using decorative synthetic grass completely free of such rubber particles.
