Healthy paints for green spaces: A specifier’s guide to low volatile organic compound (VOC) paint

Paint is one of the most common sources of volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing, with the highest concentrations emitted while the paint is being applied and as it is drying – but off-gassing may continue for years to come. To create healthier, more sustainable living spaces, designers and specifiers can specify low VOC paints that will reduce the overall level of VOCs off-gassed and minimise the associated adverse health effects.
