HARMFUL
 
EFFECTS
 
OF
 
PAINT
 
POLLUTION
 
Prolonged
 
or
 
high
 
exposure
 
to
 
paint
 
and
 
paint
 
fumes
 
can
 
cause
  
headaches,
 
trigger
 
allergies
 
and
 
asthmatic
 
reactions,
 
irritate
 
skin,
 
eyes
 
and
 
airways,
 
and
 
put
 
increased
 
stress
 
on
 
vital
 
organs
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
heart. The
 
World
 
Health
 
Organization
 
(WHO)
 
has
 
reported
 
a
 
20%-40%
 
increased
 
risk
 
of
 
certain
 
types
 
of
 
cancer
 
(in
 
particular
 
lung
 
cancer)
 
for
 
those
 
who
 
come
 
into
 
regular
 
contact
 
with,
 
or
 
work
 
with
 
paint
 
while
 
Danish
 
researchers
 
point
 
to
 
the
 
added
 
possibility
 
of
 
neurological
 
damage. By
  
far,
  
the
  
most
  
important
  
environmental
  
impact
  
from
  
paints
  
is
  
the
  
release
  
of
  
volatile
  
organic
 
compounds
 
(VOCs)
 
during
 
the
 
drying
 
process
 
after
 
the
 
coating
 
is
 
applied. Virtually
 
everything
 
but
 
the
 
solids
 
in
 
a
 
typical
 
paint
 
formulation
 
is
 
released
 
to
 
the
 
air. Once
 
in
 
the
 
atmosphere,
 
VOCs
 
participate
 
in
 
the
 
formation
 
of
 
ozone. In
 
the
 
presence
 
of
 
nitrogen
 
oxides
 
(NOx)
 
and
 
sunlight,
 
VOCs
 
react
 
with
 
oxygen
 
in
 
the
 
air
 
to
 
produce
 
ozone,
 
the
 
most
 
toxic
 
component
 
of
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
pollution
 
commonly
 
known
 
as
 
smog. Ozone
 
attacks
 
lung
 
tissue,
 
and
 
is
 
very
  
injurious,
  
even
  
in
  
very
  
low
  
concentrations. To
  
prevent
  
the
  
formation
  
excessive
  
levels
  
of
 
ozone,
 
the
 
VOC
 
content
 
of
 
paint,
 
and
 
its
 
conditions.
