immediate symptoms that some people have experienced soon after exposure to
some organics include:
Eye and respiratory tract irritation
headaches
dizziness
visual disorders and memory impairment
At present, not much is known about what health effects occur from the levels of
organics usually found in homes.
Levels in Homes
Studies have found that levels of several organics average 2 to 5 times higher indoors
than outdoors. During and for several hours immediately after certain activities, such
as paint stripping, levels may be 1,000 times background outdoor levels.
Steps to Reduce Exposure
Increase ventilation when using products that emit VOCs.
Meet or exceed any label precautions.
Do not store opened containers of unused paints and similar materials within
the school.
Formaldehyde, one of the best known VOCs, is one of the few indoor air
pollutants that can be readily measured.
o Identify, and if possible, remove the source.
o If not possible to remove, reduce exposure by using a sealant on all
exposed surfaces of paneling and other furnishings.
Use integrated pest management techniques to reduce the need for
pesticides.
Use household products according to manufacturer's directions.
Make sure you provide plenty of fresh air when using these products.
Throw away unused or little-used containers safely; buy in quantities that you
will use soon.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Never mix household care products unless directed on the label.
