Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Paint

Have you ever walked into a freshly painted room and felt a sudden dizzy spell? This is a common effect when using paints with high volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are responsible for that new paint smell and apart from dizziness they may cause you to feel nauseous or cause a headache if the room isn't properly ventilated. VOCs have a negative impact on the environment.
Impact of the Environment
VOCs have a negative impact on the environment. Once in the atmosphere, VOCs participate in the formation of ozone. In the presence of nitrogen oxides and sunlight, VOCs react with oxygen in the air to produce ozone, the most toxic component of the form of pollution commonly known as smog.
