VOC was one of the paint emissions accused to be an environmental hazardous material and among the main causes for SBS (Sick Building Syndrome). The term SBS was coined in the late 1970's to describe situations where building occupants experienced acute health problems. “According to WHO (World Health Organization), 4.3 million people a year die from the exposure to in-house air pollution”
