Tips for Green Painting

Because all synthetic materials gas off, many paints, although dry to touch within an hour or so, will continue to gas of on a molecular level, more or less indefinitely, and certainly for days, or weeks, on a level that is not preferable for those who have to live with it.

Alternatively, there are now �zero-emission� paints (no VOCs � or volatile organic compounds) on the market. Where feasible (90% of cases), an environmentally conscious painter uses these alternative products for interior applications.

This development is especially beneficial for anyone in your household/workplace who may suffer from environmental effects (perhaps all of us, on some level).
