Eliminating Paint Fumes

Painting a space is a quick and easy way to improve a room visually. It is also one of the quickest ways to ruin air quality.

Air quality becomes unhealthy when paints off-gas volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) into the air.


The odor most frequently associated with paint is what results.

Unfortunately, these fumes contain chemicals that are unhealthy to breathe. And for those who are sensitive, they can cause headaches, dry throat, burning eyes, nausea, vomiting and other acute side effects. Ventilating the space will remove many of the initial fumes, but fumes can continue to evaporate for weeks.

Being able to continuously filter the air to remove these chemicals is the most efficient way to handle the problem. Opening windows and doors moves the air for as the long as they are open. But once you close the space again the fumes are allowed to accumulate.

Carbon is well known for its ability to absorb gases, chemicals and odors. And adding potassium iodide to the already absorbent carbon makes it incredibly effective at removing paint fumes.
