Before I dip my brush into that bucket, let’s look at some reasons why paint can be hazardous to our health and to the environment.

We all have walked into a freshly painted room and commented on how we love the new color. At the same time we also have smelled the paint, the solvents that are evaporating off the surfaces. VOC's or volatile organic compounds usually are what we are smelling. Ethylene glycol, "EG". Propylene glycol, "PG" and really there are a number of different additives in most latex indoor house paint that do cause harm.

The Environmental Protection Agency is working to limit the level of VOC's in paint, because as the paint dries, these compounds are emitted into the air and are believed to be responsible for contributing to ground level smog. Studies also suggest that in the last 5-6 years, chances are that your home was painted with VOC paints and continue to release toxins that could harm your health if you are exposed to them in low doses over an extended period of time.

You can achieve the color combination that you want for your home without any toxic side effects.  Painting is a quick and easy way to give your surroundings a makeover.  And by doing so, you can give your health a makeover too.
