Low VOC Solution

Additional Details

Volatile organic compounds are substances that evaporate from paint allowing it to dry and are very toxic to humans. Even after the paint has dried, VOCs can continue to be released from the paint for years, thus, harming the occupants. The easiest solution is to use paints that do not contain VOCs and instead contain a non-harmful drying agent. Low VOC paints are the ones which use water as a carrier instead of petroleum-based solvents. They contain reduced levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which emit smog producing pollutants into the air.
