Many people may not have considered how “house paint” that is used every day can be a source of indoor pollution — but the answer lies in “volatile organic compounds” or VOCs, which are substances that evaporate from paint during and after application. These VOCs may include chemicals such as formaldehyde (Formaldehyde), toluene (Toluene), and xylene (Xylene) that have direct health effects, such as irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and with long-term exposure, may increase the risk of respiratory diseases and certain chronic illnesses.
A new home may not be as fresh as you think
Repainting often comes with a strong odor — that is a sign of VOCs being released into the indoor atmosphere, which can accumulate in enclosed spaces such as bedrooms, children’s rooms, or offices, making indoor air quality worse than outside by 2–5 times (according to the World Health Organization WHO).
A new trend for health-conscious individuals: “low-VOC paint” for a safer home
In an era where people are increasingly concerned about health and the environment, house paint is no longer just about “aesthetics” but must also consider “indoor air quality.” Low-VOCs or Zero-VOCs Paint is the answer for modern homes, providing both beauty and safety while being environmentally friendly because it
- releases very little or almost no volatile substances
- reduces the strong odors that often cause dizziness
- allows users to occupy the space immediately after painting without needing to ventilate for long
