Reducing Indoor Paint Fumes

Paint is amazing in its ability to change the appearance of walls from old to new, dirty to clean, and dull to exciting. What is equally amazing is the number of volatile organic chemicals that some paints can off gas into your indoor air.

Whether the paint has been applied in your office or home, paint fumes can literally be nauseating. Indications that paint fumes are causing problems can range from a throbbing headache, dizziness, burning eyes, dry throat to, in severe cases, vomiting and worse.

The best way to reduce indoor paint fumes is to use low or no VOC paint. This gives you the freedom to colorize any space without being exposed to the vapors. And this is an effective way to avoid ever having a problem if you are in control of the paint.

Many times your office, apartment, or new home is decorated without any input from you, and this often forces you to be exposed to airborne chemicals from paint that can off gas for months.

Opening windows and doors can help some, but often lets in other undesirable pollutants such as gasoline or diesel fumes from traffic, pollen, dust and possibly many others depending on where you live. It can also let out the heat or air conditioning which makes this an expensive solution.

The best way to clear the air in your home or office and restore clean air is to do just that—clear the air by cleaning it. An air purifier with a filter designed to eliminate airborne chemicals from paint is an economical, efficient and low maintenance way to deal with the problem.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier that not only eliminates chemical vapors, but has a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) filter that eliminates fine particulates down to .3 microns.

You may not have been in control of the paint, but you can restore healthy air quality. See how this purifier can help at http://purerair.com/healthmate_plus.html
