MATT VINYL EMULSION IHALATION SAFETY

Health effects associated with the paint will be significantly diminished as the paint dries. The best thing that you can do is to create conditions inside your home which would encourage a more rapid drying of the paint and ventilate the odours out of the house. It is best to apply paint when the humidity is low . You can also use fans to help dry paint. Air that is moving has a greater capacity to pick up moisture and in conjunction with open windows, fans help move the inside air to the outside where it can disperse even more rapidly, and they can help bring in fresh air from the outside.

Water based paints pose fewer risks than solvent-based ones since they should be toxin-free and also lower in odour. An alternative is to try a ­natural paint such as eco paint, which is solvent, VOC-free and odourless. Natural paints don’t release toxic fumes. And since brushes can be cleaned with water, there’s no need for white spirit or turpentine. another potential source of solvents. Always ensure the room you are decorating is well ­ventilated by opening windows. Take frequent breaks in the fresh air and don’t use the room until the paint is completely dry.

The risk from modern household paints are very low, this paint can have a strong smell even weeks after finishing painting
