VOCs in paint?  

<li>  Fact, unless you make a conscious effort to choose paint with your family's health and the environment in mind, you'll find that most of today's paint contains many chemicals -- known as volatile organic compounds -- that can negatively affect your health.</li>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<li>VOCs are dangerous for a couple of reasons. First, many VOCs are known carcinogens. A typical bucket of paint contains chemicals, such as benzene, methylene chloride and others, that have been linked to cancer [source:<a href="http://www.epa.gov/iaq/voc.html"> United States Environmental Protection Agency].</a></li>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<li>VOCs are also the components of paint that cause you to develop a headache after painting. In addition, the VOC-rich air in your home over the following years can put you or a family member at a higher risk of developing asthma or allergies [source:<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0013423"> Choi et al].</a></li>

<b>Hamptons Painting and Property Management</b> grew out of a combined 30 years in the painting and property management industry. I grew up learning the business of painting and working in paint stores because my father was a painter in Southampton, NY.

Over the course of my 30 years in the painting industry, I learned a great deal about the toxins in paints and began to learn more about how I can offer non-toxic paints to my clients, to ensure them a healthier lifestyle in their home. My interest in using Eco-friendly products came at the right time, when people have been learning more and more about how toxins affect our lives, from chronic illness to contaminated ground water, they affect us in every aspect of our lives.

It is my hope that Hamptons Painting and Property Management can offer services to local families and businesses in the Hamptons, in small towns like East Hampton, Sag Harbor, and Southampton. Our goal is to provide you with services unlike any other, where we truly take great care in your health, well-being, home and lifestyle.

Respectfully,
<b>Stephen Hesler</b>
