In today's green conscious environment, we are all more concerned with the minimizing our exposure to chemicals in our homes. When purchasing your next can of paint you may want to consider the amount of volatile organic compounds, or VOC's, to which you may be exposing your household.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines VOC's as organic compounds that participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions except those they have designated as having negligible photchemical reactivity. Since the amount of VOC's that are safe is truly unknown, I recommend that we adhere to the "better safe than sorry" adage when buying paint, especially for babies' and young children's bedrooms.

There are standard paints that have typcial VOC's, low VOC's and now zero-VOC's! Now Benjamin Moore's new Natura line of paints has zero VOC's and every Benjamin Moore color can be created as a Natura paint!

If you are painting a baby's room, are expecting achild, or just want to avoid that typcial paint smell, this is for you. Go to
Benjamin Moore's website for more information about this new line.
