Water-based paints: Less stinky, but some still contain potentially hazardous chemicals
American Chemical Society (ACS)

Choosing paint for your home brings a lot of options: What kind of paint, what type of finish and what color? Water-based paints have emerged as “greener” and less smelly than solvent-based options. And they are often advertised as containing little-to-no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
