Be careful what you paint...

Paints release trace amounts of gases for months after application -- even though they appear to be fully dried and the smell is gone. These gases are called VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, and can include highly toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. 

Use "low-VOC" paints, varnishes, waxes and other chemicals. Better yet -- try a no-VOC paint like Freshaire's Choice paint. If painting indoors, open windows and use exhaust fans to remove gases. Do not store open paint containers indoors.
