These chemicals evaporate and can easily get into the air at room temperature. They are harmful to both your health and the environment. The health effects of volatile organic compounds can vary greatly according to the compound, which can range from being highly toxic to having no known health effects. The health effects of volatile organic compounds will depend on the nature of the volatile organic compound, the level of exposure, and the length of exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.niehs.nih.gov\/health\/materials\/report_on_carcinogens_13th_edition_the_508.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thirteenth Report on Carcinogens<\/a>&nbsp;published by the National Toxicology Program, benzene and formaldehyde are human carcinogens; perchloroethylene and styrene are \u201creasonably anticipated to be human carcinogens.\u201d People at the highest risk of long-term exposure to these three volatile organic compounds are industrial workers who have prolonged exposure to the compounds in the workplace; cigarette smokers; and people who have prolonged exposure to emissions from heavy motor vehicle traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term exposure to volatile organic compounds can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. Short-term exposure to volatile organic compounds can cause eye and respiratory tract irritation, headaches, dizziness, visual disorders, fatigue, loss of coordination, allergic skin reactions, nausea, and memory impairment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frenchic Furniture Paint is low in VOCs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-stackable-accordion is-style-default stk-block-accordion stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-block stk-11f2f3a\" data-block-id=\"11f2f3a\"><style>.stk-11f2f3a{margin-bottom:0px !important}<\/style>\n<summary class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk--container-small stk-block-accordion__heading stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-12c4fbe\" data-block-id=\"12c4fbe\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-12c4fbe-container stk-hover-parent\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block-icon-label--use-flex-basis stk-block stk-21df549\" data-block-id=\"21df549\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon stk-block stk-01b4141\" data-block-id=\"01b4141\"><style>.stk-01b4141 .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child{height:20px !important;width:20px !important}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><lineargradient id=\"linear-gradient-01b4141\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-01-b-4141-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-01-b-4141-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/lineargradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"chevron-down\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chevron-down fa-w-14\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block stk-165a9ea\" id=\"strong-is-frenchic-furniture-paint-safe-to-use-on-childrens-furniture-or-toys-strong\" data-block-id=\"165a9ea\"><h5 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong>Is Frenchic Furniture Paint Safe To Use On Children\u2019s Furniture Or Toys?<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/summary>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-accordion__content stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-1c723d8\" data-block-id=\"1c723d8\"><style>.stk-1c723d8-container{border-radius:5px !important;overflow:hidden !important;border-style:solid !important;border-color:var(--theme-palette-color-4,#192a3d) !important;border-top-width:2px !important;border-right-width:2px !important;border-bottom-width:2px !important;border-left-width:2px !important}.stk-1c723d8 .stk-block-column__content{min-height:0px !important;max-width:90% !important;min-width:auto !important;padding-top:20px !important;padding-right:20px !important;padding-bottom:20px !important;padding-left:20px !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important}.stk-1c723d8-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-1c723d8-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks\">\n<p>Absolutely.
