More than 850 million gallons of indoor and outdoor paint was sold for use on residential, commercial, institutional and industrial buildings in 2005. The main environmental issue with paint is that much of it contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Buying low- or no-VOC paint will release fewer or no VOCs into the air when you paint. VOCs create ground-level ozone pollution and carry potential health risks. For more information on painting green, visit GreenYour.com.
