Paint contains 299g of VOC

[kuls938kx]

Is this level high?

I feel terrible. Partner glossed windowsills etc round the house a few days ago the morning and I took the kids out for the day. He kept windows open and we come home at night and carried on as normal.

My little one has developed a croaky throat for a few days and I couldn't figure out why. I've just checked and seen it contains VOC which can cause health problems and respiratory irritation. I feel so upset.

Is 299g a high level?

For the record it's satin finish crown paint

I think that's a relatively normal level for an oil based pain. Im sure DC will be fine.

Thank you I feel absolutely terrible it looks like a very high level from what I'm reading online.

I have contacted the company to ask advise and how long we should keep the kids away even after it being dry..... most websites say it vaporises in the air for 2-3 months !!

Highly recommend Lakeland paints. It’s expensive but has none of these issues.

High VOC paint sets off my asthma. But honestly only until it's dried.

My test is 'can I smell paint?' If yes it's high, if not I'll be fine.

Plus little kids have sore throats and colds all the time.
