Painting Safety and Health

In general, paints are made of synthetic resin, which requires alcohol, ester, or another aromatic hydrocarbon with a low flash point as its dilution, and the vaporization of which is the main cause of explosion or fire during the painting process.

Due to its volatility and fats solubility, the solvent might be absorbed through the respiratory system and skin. Its difficult and slow elimination from the human body will cause hepatic failure or even liver cirrhosis, renal failure, and proteinuria.

The metallic compound powder in the paint and the powder from polishing may cause lead intoxication, silicosis, and other occupational diseases.
