Aerosol Paint Is Released:
Because aerosol paint is released as a fine spray, objects are best taken outside for painting. Choose a still day to avoid too much paint drift. Protect the area around the object being painted with old sheets or newspapers. If you do have to work indoors, over a period of time, it is best to wear a protective mask.Paint in aerosol cans is ideal for small areas, touching-up or repair jobs, stencilling, and painting awkward objects such as the many different surfaces and twists and turns of wrought iron railings or gates. The choice of colors is not as extensive as you will find for traditional paints, since the more subtle tones are not available. Aerosol paints are not intended to be used for painting large areas. Shake the can well before use and hold it at the recommended distance from the surface. Apply the paint in parallel bands, never in an arc. Apply only a very thin coat, allow it to dry, and build up further coats.
Many new organic chemicals released into the atmosphere come under suspicion of causing long-term environmental damage. For example, the freons, used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants, may interfere with the protective ozone of the upper atmosphere and allow dangerous concentrations of ultra-violet light to reach the earth's surface; these may harm the skin and body tissues. Increased quantities of carbon dioxide, released into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, may be upsetting the heat balance of the earth.
