Solvents are highly flammable â keep paint cans away from open flames. Â­Dispose of rags properly â rags soaked with oil-based paints can ignite spontaneously.ecause the solvents are absorbed into the lungs, then the blood stream, they can lead to headaches and dizziness. âIf you paint for too long in a room with no Â­ventilation, it can even cause a blackout,â says Dr Prowse. When VOCs are inhaled, they can cause eye, nose and throat Â­irritation.
