Hello dear community,
yesterday we had sod installed, and only afterwards did we come across an environmental test from 2012 that stated a large proportion of sod contains pesticides and toxic substances. Especially since we have children who want to crawl on it, we are now uncertain.
Is there anyone who knows more about the current situation? Unfortunately, we do not yet know the manufacturer, but we are finding that out now.
The test is from 10 years ago and may not reflect the current situation.

Thank you very much.

For peace of mind, I would simply ask the manufacturer or supplier when it was last used. However, I would personally use it beforehand without any concerns. Maybe just avoid eating it 😉

Seriously, it will probably be regularly thoroughly watered to promote growth anyway, so it should be fine.
