The main toxic sources of paint are solvents (thinners) and pigments.
The solvents used in paints are mostly organic solvents such as esters, alcohols, benzenes and ketones. These organic solvents are toxic, volatile and have a great taste in construction. The toxicity of pigments is mainly due to the use of heavy metal oxides such as lead, cadmium, chromium and mercury in some coatings, but they will not react in taste.
Compared with ordinary paint, the concept of environmental protection only shows that the harmful gas emission of this material is lower than the national standard, and the harm is reduced, but there are still some harmful gases, so the house decorated with paint should be placed for about one year, just to minimize the smell.
