Duane Enos owns Turf Designs on Silverbell near Grant. The retired Tucson Police Officer has been in business for around four years and says since the beginning, his company has tested for PFAS chemicals in their product.
Enos reached out to News 4 Tucson after seeing our report on the study from the nonprofit Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. Researchers warned homeowners about the dangers of PFAS chemicals found in artificial turf and suggested using native Arizona grasses that use less water. Enos says ultimately, what a homeowner or business decides to use is a personal preference.
