Traditional house paints, especially oil based paints, contain high amounts of VOC's which can be dangerous. There are some alternative paints available that have very low to practically no VOC content. Also there are non-toxic organic paint alternatives you can consider. But beware of the marketing hype! Like "organic" foods a lot of manufacturers use the term "Low VOC" as more marketing hype than truth.

This tutorial Low VOC Interior Paint and Other Healthy Alternative Paints will explain the truth about low VOC paints and what to look for when reading the labels. You'll learn all about the alternatives you have in paint products, and how you can protect your family's health and still have a beautiful home!
