Minimizing Paint Fumes


Paint is one of the fastest ways to give a space a new look. It’s also one of the fastest ways to cause unhealthy air quality.

Most paints contain petrochemicals---a combination of petroleum and natural gas.

Oil paint contains 93% parts per gallon and water based paint (latex) contains 15%. These chemicals evaporate into the air easily and are at the root of creating unhealthy air.

And even after the paint as been applied and is dry, these chemicals can continue to evaporate into the air for months. Acute symptoms include headache, dizziness, dry mouth and throat, and burning eyes. Long term health implications from prolonged exposure include cancer.

Removing these carcinogens is one of the safest and most non-invasive ways to protect yourself and your health. In addition, filtration with a carbon-based chemical filter can also remove other gaseous pollutants in your air that are not associated with the paint.

PurerAir.com offers a carbon-based chemical air purifier that will allow you to enjoy your newly painted room without the health hazards.
