Content: Most paints that are used for decorating homes contain dangerous chemical substances, such as VOCs (Volatile-Organic-Compounds) and harmful solvents. When the paint dries up, the chemical compounds are converted into gases, which are then released into the atmosphere. When the painter and people nearby inhale the paint fumes, they’re more likely to suffer from nose, throat, and eye irritation. In great amounts, studies have clearly shown that these chemical substances can cause cancers, birth complications, and damage to the brain. Paints and VOCs
Paints can be classified into 2 categories: oil-based and water-based. The former is used particularly for a glossy finish. A certain liquid (solvent) is added to such paints in order to thin them, making the mixture spread well. The latter kinds of paints are usually acrylic emulsions and are used when painting walls. Generally, paints and thinners contain VOCs, the chemical compounds that are easily converted into gases or vapors.
