About to Paint Around the House? Shop for Eco-Friendly No-VOC Paints
Over the last decade, the presence of numerous airborne chemicals in our indoor environments has been very well documented. Many of these chemicals are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) known to cause respiratory and other health problems including asthma in both adults and children.
Sources of these VOCs have been traced back to household cleaning products, home maintenance chemicals (solvents, thinners, etc.) and even the paints and finishes used on our walls.
Though some household cleaning product companies have developed no VOC alternatives over the last few decades, only recently have the paint companies followed that early lead.
Even still, it appears that some of the companies now advertising non-VOC paints, are still producing paints with other volatile compounds that also raise health concerns.
