Does the use of VOC-free paint help to counter climate change?
Yes, it really does, and in no small measure. The use of paints worldwide emitted something in the order of 20 – 25 million tonnes of VOCs into the atmosphere last year* and despite measures and legislation to reduce this problem, will continue to do so for the forseeable future, year on year. By using VOC-free paints, you are helping to do your bit to save the planet, reduce air pollution, and reduce this needless waste of our valuable finite resources. *UN/WHO documents ehc 187 et al.
