High VOC home paint

[Mavey9]

My housing association have sent in contractors into my home, who have used high VOC paint on my radiator, windows and skirting boards. What is the best thing to do to address the high VOC emissions, into the air. I'm not sure if stripping it and painting with low VOC paint, will cause more dangerous fumes. Or would it be best to paint over it with low VOC paint. Any information will be greatly appreciated. I have lung disease.

Hi

Once dry the smell will disappear, make take a few days. If practical leave windows open.

The radiators should have been painted with appropriate radiator paint, to stop discolouring and cracking.

Cut an onion in half and this will help soak up the fumes. Will go or minimise in a few days

There are no VOC when dry, in fact the higher the VOC the faster the drying

Bowls of a small amount of vinegar here and there, as well as baking soda in bowls will absorb alot of odor....and if possible a very good air purifier they are priceless at times!!
