Choosing safe paints. Choosing zero VOC paints and finishes for your home ensures safer indoor air quality. There is a current trend towards limiting the production of solvent-based paints, replacing them with solvent-free or water-based paints.
The most well-known toxic substances in paint are volatile organic compounds, known as VOCs. VOCs are a byproduct of either solids, liquids or a combination of both in paint. When paint is applied, the byproduct is released into the atmosphere in the form of a gas (paint fumes). VOCs are generally at a higher concentration when indoors (as much as 10 times the amount of outdoor paint).
