We’ve only heard of indoor air quality in the last ten to fifteen years. The incidence of asthma, allergies, and other lung diseases has risen in that time. How does cigarette/pipe/cannabis smoke penetrate the paint on the walls and the carpets? How does it affect those in homes or offices? How can it be removed, so good indoor air quality is restored?

What is Low VOC Paint and Why is it so Important?

According to Corrosionpedia: “Low VOC refers to volatile organic compounds that are not harmful to the environment and humans. It mostly refers to paints and other products that have a very low or zero VOC, e.g. sealants, adhesives, and cleaners. Low VOCs are good for both the environment and living organisms. Conventional paint contains a higher level of VOCs that are released into the air and that cause ozone depletion. Low-VOC products contain a lower amount of VOC content than conventional paints and create no impact on the ozone layer.”

Given this information, when Indoor Air Quality is the focus, Low VOC paint is vitally important to use in your paint project to protect human interaction.

How Smoke Gets Into Walls

When a smoker lights up, the smoke emitted from the burning end of the cigarette/cigar/joint/bowl as well as exhaled smoke gets into everything. The nicotine sticks to the walls, forcing its way past the paint. It then settles into the tiny openings in the drywall, where it’s trapped until it’s cleaned.

How Does Smoke Affect Indoor Air Quality?

What used to be called secondhand smoke and is now referred to as environmental tobacco smoke contains 4,000 compounds, many cancerous. Inhaling this smoke causes lower respiratory problems such as bronchitis and asthma. Small children and seniors with smaller lung capacities are most at risk of these in addition to eye, ear, nose, and throat irritations. Coughing, phlegm, and wheezing are symptoms. Less lung capacity is also a serious symptom.  Now, Thirdhand smoke is becoming even more of a concern and you can read more research here on our website https://odordefenderpaint.com/third-hand-smoke/

How Can Good Indoor Air Quality Be Restored?

Property managers cleaning up after a smoker will first vent well the office or home using fans. The second step will be to replace all air filters and clean the intake grates. Then it will be time to clean the walls and carpets.

But remember washing the walls won’t rid the home or office of the smoke smell. The paint needs to be removed and the drywall thoroughly cleaned with a vinegar and water solution. Keeping the house or office well ventilated while you clean, try trisodium phosphate if the vinegar and water fails to get rid of the smoke smell….but this is quite the involved process!
