Various types of turf are very effective in pollution reduction
- Turf captures and removes dust and dirt from the air.
- 2.500 m2 of turf absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and releases enough oxygen for a four member family to breath.
Atmosphere’s Air Condition
Another benefit we all enjoy without realizing it, is turf’s cool effect.
- On a hot summer day, turf will be 8-10 degrees cooler than asphalt and 4-8 degrees cooler than soil.
- Turf in the front area of eight houses has the effect of around 70 tones of air conditioning. This fact is amazing if we take into consideration that the average coolness of a house has 4 tones capability.
- The cool effect of watered turf reduces the amount of fuels that need to be burned so as to produce the relative electric energy for an air condition to operate.
A Natural Filter
- Running water in developed areas carries many viruses.
- Turf acts as a natural filter, cleaning the water which passes through the root zone.
Soil Corrosion
- Turf’s power is much more effective in terms of cost in order to monitor wind and soil corrosion by water.
- Healthy turf absorbs rain water six times more than a field of straw.
