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.

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.

Paint Odor Air Purifier

If you’re battling paint fumes, an air purifier specifically designed to remove the volatile organic chemicals that many paints off gas is the quickest and safest way to relief.

As you are probably all too aware, fumes from paint can cause burning eyes, nose, throat, headaches and many other sickening symptoms.

Opening the windows may work for a while, but that can introduce all kinds of unwanted pollutants into your indoor air. And if outdoor temperatures are extremely cold or hot, it doesn’t work at all unless you’re planning to move out for a while.

Using an air purifier with a carbon based filter that can trap the harmful volatile organic chemicals that are evaporating from the paint is effective, economical, and continuous way to prevent the build up of fumes in your air.

Choosing a purifier that also has a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) filter gives you an added level of filtration against particles down to .3 microns in size. What particles in my air you may ask? The ones that all of us have—household dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pet dander (even though you may not have pets), and various kinds of pollen that hitch a ride on hair, packages, and clothes.

So by choosing a purifier with multiple types of filters, not only are you able to eliminate paint odor but visible and often invisible particulates as well.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier that will eliminate paint odor as well as normal household particulates. See it now at http://purerair.com/healthmate_plus.html
