Abstract:
Lawns are highly recognized and indispensable elements in the urban landscape. Due to water-saving, low maintenance cost, and avoided health-environmental impacts of agrochemical usage, artificial turf (AT) has increasingly replaced some natural turf (NT) sports fields and recreational lawns. It remains controversial whether AT is a healthy alternative to NT. We asked the research question, “Where and for whom the AT is (or isnt) suitable regarding user thermal sensation partaking various activities?”.
