PAINT
Paint has come a long way since the days when it was full of toxic nasties like lead. As well as overhauling its ingredients over the last few decades, the paint industry is continuing to evolve, with formulations and practices that are healthier for us and the environment. Here are a few things to look for when choosing paint.
• Choose paint products labelled lowodour and low-VOC (or no-VOC). These toxic chemicals (full name: volatile organic compounds) are what might be giving you a headache after you’ve been painting, and myriad scientific studies have linked them to significant health problems.
• Look.
