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>

<li>VOCs are dangerous for a couple of reasons. First, many VOCs are known carcinogens.

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>
