SOLVENTS
Oil-based paint thinners, most paint strippers, graffiti removers,
and even kitchen degreasers contain flammable and toxic solvents.
Many parts washers also use solvents. Whenever feasible, reduce
your use of solvents and switch to less harmful alternatives.

PESTICIDES
Since pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers are poisonous,
it is important to limit their use.

more information.
PAINT
Buy the right amount of paint for the job. Purchase paints that
are specially formulated to reduce volatile organic compounds.
Consider purchasing recycled paint. If your facility can’t
use leftover paint, consider donating it.
