defects of synthetic paints
Synthetic pigments veer with the action of ultraviolet and infrared rays unlike the natural ones. Then change color over time. Often, they are not breathable, a feature that is required for the health of a home and its inhabitants. They always contain some chemical solvents which are toxic to humans. FInally, after painting a room, toxic particles remain in suspension for 3 or 4 weeks and the toxicity remains in the house even for years.
