Why Traditional Paint Is a Risk to Your Family & the Environment
Traditional paints often contain toxic substances that linger in your home long after it has dried. These nasty vapours are not pleasant especially for young children or those suffering from respiratory conditions, such as asthma. Moreover, if not disposed of responsibly, the hazardous chemicals found in house paint can leach into the groundwater, potentially damaging the natural environment.
Health Risks of Conventional Paint Fumes
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a branch of the World Health Organisation, classifies painting as a carcinogenic occupation. Health conditions, including lung cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia, can develop as a result of long-term exposure to toxic paint. Of course, if you paint your home just once or twice throughout your lifetime, you are unlikely to develop these more serious ailments.
In the shorter term, conventional paint may cause you to develop a pretty bad headache and irritated eyes, particularly before the paint fumes have had time to settle. The air in your home over the following years may also put your family at a higher risk of developing paint allergies.
Environmental Impact of Standard House Paint
Paint generally contains solvents and other nasty chemicals that can wreak havoc on the natural environment – including on animals. If these toxic chemicals leach into the groundwater, they can disrupt delicate ecosystems and destroy habitats.
The release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the drying process is another concern. VOCs add to the formation of ozone, the most hazardous component of the pollution we usually refer to as smog.
How Our Brisbane Eco-Friendly Painters Protect Your Home
The good news is, you don’t have to choose between your family’s health and freshly painted walls. Eco-friendly painters like us use low-VOC paints where possible. Low-VOC paints offer several significant benefits, including:
- Little to no odour
- Safer fumes that are unlikely to irritate the eyes or airways
- Minimised air pollution
Responsible Paint Disposal: What We Do Differently
Even low-VOC paints can harm the environment if not disposed of properly. Depending on how much paint you have left, we suggest using one of the following disposal methods:
- If you have less than 4cm of paint left, leave it out to dry and then recycle the tin.
- If you have a substantial amount of paint left, do not put it in your general waste or recycling bin. Instead, use the Paintback recycling program to find your nearest drop-off point.
