What are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Their Effects?
VOCs are chemicals that evaporate into the air from certain paints and can cause a range of health problems. Short-term exposure to VOCs can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, cause headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Long-term exposure may lead to more severe health issues, such as liver and kidney damage, respiratory problems, and even cancer. Choosing low-VOC or zero-VOC paints can significantly reduce these risks.
