There is a lot of emphasis these days on the quality of the air inside your home. This is especially true for people with respiratory issues or sensitivities to chemicals in the air.

If you have shopped for paint or researched paint recently, you’ll likely see descriptors such as low-VOC or no-VOC paints. If you like many people, these terms are new to you. VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds. Volatile Organic Compounds are used in traditional paints to improve the quality of the application and to aid in the drying of the paint. They are used for a reason, but they also bring with them some risk to those who are sensitive to them.

If you are at risk of being sensitive to VOCs in the paint used in your home, you need to be sure you fully understand the benefits and disadvantages of VOC paint. For you, a low-VOC paint or no-VOC paint may be a better solution. Keep in mind, however, that a truly VOC free paint may be hard to come by since even the dyes used to tint paint contain some VOCs.
