Many thanks to Bob Vila for mentioning The Complete Organic Pregnancy in an article about a green nursery challenge! See the excerpt below, and/or check out the whole article here.
“As for the paint, I read ‘if you can smell it, it’s probably bad for you’ in “The Complete Organic Pregnancy.” The authors advise latex rather than alkyd- or oil-based paints, and suggest looking for paints labeled zero-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), no-VOC, or VOC-free, as they are “almost completely free of carcinogens.”
