Recent developments in computer graphics software and hardware have made it possible to write computer graphics programs that can be used to solve automotive paint engineering problems. New surface reflection models have been created for simulating the appearance of automotive paint, and the hardware available today on graphics cards allows these reflection models to be evaluated in real-time. ...

The water-based paints now frequently used for house painting still contain small amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with the potential to exacerbate symptoms of asthma. Because of these potential problems and environmental concerns, some manufacturers have produced paints with no VOC content. We wished to compare the effects on asthmatics of conventional water-based paint and the ne...

The use of paint thinner and glue to achieve an euphoric state has been associated with serious social and health problems in children and young adults. We present the case of a 21-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy occurring following abuse of paint thinner and glue containing toluene as main compound. After cessation of toluene abuse, the patient recovered rapidly and completely. Becaus...

Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 addresses the control of lead-based paint hazards in federally assisted housing. It also provides for consistency and quality control in evaluating and controlling lead hazards in all housing. At the time of sale or rental of privately owned housing built before 1978, the year the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the resident...
