Artificial turf generally has a pile (the visible grass-like portion), a tuft or infill (which helps the pile stand upright), and a backing (which holds everything together).
The pile can be made of different materials, but the most common pile material (and purportedely the safest) is polyethylene (with no more than 40% nylon).
The tufting can be polyethylene (or on older styles where infill is used the infill can be rubber or coated silica sand).
As far as the backing is concerned, there is a wide variety of materials used to form the backing. Some manufacturers use environmentally-friendly fibrous material and some use a layer of urethane with holes punched intermittently thoughout the roll of turf to accomodate the necessary drainage rates.

Astro-Turf (which is a specific brand of artificial turf, or grass) has several advantages over a natural grass surface.
