Eco Friendly, Organic Paints Help Your Health
Do you know what's in the paint in your home, office, or travel destinations? At this time, so many people are becoming aware of their environmental footprint and the ingredients they are consuming, but environmental awareness and health impacts of paint often slips through the cracks.
A great shielding paint may be the solution to the inhalation of dangerous fumes when completing a painting project. It can be used on primed walls, floors, and ceilings. This shielding paint is also helpful in avoiding polyurethane fumes which have been linked to nausea, headaches, and respiratory problems.
Chemical sensitivity is a common problem today that can easily flare up during a weekend when you're busy painting that accent wall or staining the deck in your house. Non toxic paint, eco friendly paint, and shielding paint can really help prevent these sensitivities from flaring up and help you to avoid potentially dangerous radiation levels.
Organic or non toxic paints are the future of painting. Studies have found that levels of several organics average two to five times higher indoors than outdoors. When these fumes are inhaled they have the potential to contribute to health issues. If you wouldn't eat a food item that's shown links to health problems, why use a paint that's correlated to health problems?
Similar to reading your nutrition labels, it's important to read the ingredients on a paint can - especially when the paint is going to be used in an area that you and your family may be spending time in every day. You may be surprised by the ingredients on typical household paint, but organic, eco friendly, and non toxic paints boast no hidden ingredients.
These paints that are paving the way for the future of an environmentally friendly paint industry also don't compromise quality compared to traditional paints. In many cases, they offer better coverage and a lesser environmental impact alongside the benefits of decreased chemical sensitivity.
With the rise of healthy, organic, simple foods and household cleaners, it could be time for us to begin holding paint to the same standards. A shift in the paint industry would mean increased quality of life on a personal and environmental level.
