Choosing safe paints. Choosing zero VOC paints and finishes for your home ensures safer indoor air quality. There is a current trend towards limiting the production of solvent-based paints, replacing them with solvent-free or water-based paints.
Another disadvantage of oil-based enamels is that they require mineral spirits (paint thinner) to clean equipment after painting. Acrylic enamels are waterborne, so clean up is not only much easier, but more environmentally-friendly, too. But the major disadvantage of oil-based enamels is their high VOC content. VOC stands for Volatile Organic Compounds, and these are the chemicals that are of concern from environmental and health points of view. LEED guidelines for green paints are that they must be under 150 grams/liter for non-flat sheens.
