Buying environmentally preferable paints is an easy way to “go green.” Specifications and eco-labels exist to make choosing a green paint easier. By going green in your paint purchases, you can help minimize ground ozone pollution, a potent valley irritant created by volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) , vehicle emissions, and sunlight. Buying EPP paints will also prevent employee and building occupant exposure to toxic chemicals sometimes present in non-EPP paints and coatings.
