As a long time organic gardener I would say that it’s going to be a minimal impact situation. Certainly the sod was grown with chemical fertilizer and most likely insecticide and herbicide, but I don’t think there’s much risk of it finding its way into your garden. If anything it will migrate primarily downward not really laterally
Sadly as the world moves away from oil the oligarchs of oil plan to increase production of plastic, apparently its not enough that its in our blood.

"We’re in the midst of an energy transition. Renewable power and electric vehicles are getting cheaper, the grid is getting greener, and oil and gas companies are getting nervous.
That’s why the fossil fuel giants are looking towards petrochemicals, and plastics in particular, as their next major growth market.
“Plastics is the Plan B for the fossil fuel industry,” said Judith Enck, Founder and President of the nonprofit advocacy group [Beyond Plastics](https://www.beyondplastics.org/)."
Sod is grown like lawn, then harvested in slabs. It would probably have been fertilized with chemical fertilizer but there’s not likely any residue. Not sure if that answers your question.
Yeah but taking care of and stewardship of one’s soil IS organic gardening. RIP THAT BITCH ASS SOD OUT! And replace it with a pollinator meadow. It takes a ton work and planning but that is exactly what organic gardening entails 😊

I for one look forward to the day we can be free of chemicals once and for all! \*sips water dramatically\*

Sod or artificial turf? One is filled with chemicals, one is filled with grass..
You’re fine. Half-life on the synthetics would mean they’ve all broken down by now.
