Why Choose Non Toxic, Eco Friendly Paint?
Respiratory distress, birth defects, cancer, asthma… four good reasons to take care that your home environment is literally as safe as (eco friendly) houses.
Most commercial paints release organic compounds that readily evaporate into the air. These volatile organic compounds (VOCs) include benzene, toluene, naphthalene, methyl chloroform and formaldehyde – all blamed for contributing to sick building syndrome, short term and long adverse health effects.
VOCs also emit smog-producing pollutants into the environment as the organic solvents in the paint evaporate. This chemical cocktail mixes with nitrous oxides to form ozone, blamed for resulting in shortness of breath, chest pain, asthma, pulmonary inflammation, along with increased risk of respiratory infections.
The solution is to choose zero-VOC, low odour paint that won't give off gassy hazardous fumes in your home. Even zero-VOC paints have some amount of toxins, caution experts like Dierdre Dolan and Alexandra Zissu, authors of “The Complete Organic Pregnancy”. Rooms to be well-ventilated at all times vulnerable people, such as pregnant and nursing Mums, the very young and the elderly should not be present while the room is being painted.
Non toxic and eco friendly paint can be hard to find.
