Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Occupational exposure to water based paint and symptoms from the skin and eyes

Notes: Sumario: One advantage of water based paints is that they reduce the exposure to organic solvents. The chemistry of water based paints is, however, more diverse and complex than that of solvent based paints. Water based paints contain many additives, such as biocides, surfactants, pigments, binders, amines, monomers, and solvents. This chemical complexity may introduce new potential health hazards to house painters.
