Newly painted interior walls off-gassing solvents.
Each driver rated 0 (none) to 10 (worst)
Evidence strength: strong · Detox Score = 100 − hazard×4.6 − exposure×3.4 − persistence×2.6, clamped 1–100.
A Detox Score of 66 places fresh latex paint (vocs) in the Low band. None of the three drivers is severe, which keeps the burden manageable. Conventional paint releases volatile organic compounds for days to weeks after application. Zero-VOC formulas plus ventilation dramatically cut what you breathe.
