Painting adds beauty to a home, but it can also pose a potential hazard if toxic materials are used. Prolonged exposure to toxic VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) can worsen respiratory problems, allergies, and headaches and may even lead to life-threatening consequences such as asthma, neurological damage, and cancer. Opt for eco-friendly painting that is safe for you and your family, while also contributing to the environment by reducing air pollution and global warming.

Know the Risks of Volatile Organic Compounds
VOCs are solvents often found in paint to help with drying, mixing, and coverage. Knowing what the dangers are and how they affect you is key in avoiding health risks associated with exposure to VOCs in paint.
Five reasons for choosing low-VOC and zero-VOC paints over traditional paints include:
- Less exposure to harmful chemicals – Traditional paint contains high levels of VOCs, which can have negative impacts on your health. Eco-friendly paint typically has lower levels of VOCs, reducing your exposure to these harmful chemicals.
- Cleaner air – Traditional paint can emit fumes even after it has dried, which can negatively impact air quality in your home or workplace. Eco-friendly paint can help improve indoor air quality by reducing these emissions.
- Safer for your health – VOC-based fumes can cause dizziness, headaches, and other unpleasant symptoms. Choosing eco-friendly paint can help protect your health and well-being.
- Sustainable choice – Eco-friendly paint is made from natural, renewable resources and contains fewer harmful chemicals, making it a more sustainable option for your home or office.
- Compliant with regulations – Certain VOCs, like benzene, are labeled as carcinogenic by the EPA. By choosing eco-friendly paint, you can comply with regulations and take a proactive approach to protecting the environment.
