Healthier Paint
Painting is a main ingredient when it comes to building, renovating, and maintaining a home. An increasing consumer demand for Eco-friendly products force paint manufacturers to produce with fewer dangerous and smog-producing compounds. These new toxic free paints are not only safer for humans and the earth than conventional paints, but more durable and better performing than previous products. The high levels of volatile organic compounds, or V.O.C.'s, that were emitted as gases proved to be hazardous. However, current manufacturing leads toward low- or no- V.O.C. paints. This eliminates the release of harmful vapors and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that can cause headaches and dizziness, can potentially exacerbate asthma and other health conditions, and can even cause kidney and liver damage if exposure is extremely high, according to public health experts.
