Products undergo rigorous independent testing to meet scientific standards to earn the Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae\u202fCertification Mark.<\/p>\n<p>Fumes and odors from paint can irritate eyes, skin, and airways for people with sensitivities. This is largely due to potentially harmful chemicals and gases, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), commonly found in many paints. The VOCs are released into the air as paint dries and can trigger asthma and allergies.<\/p>\n<p>Products Certified Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae demonstrate greater suitability for people with asthma and allergies. To earn the certification, the next generation of Benjamin Moore&#8217;s Eco Spec\u00ae paint underwent comprehensive scientific testing and demonstrated that it:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Emits extremely low VOCs below certification limits at 24 hours and 14 days after painting;<\/li>\n<li>Meets or exceeds physical performance standards for drying time, scrubbability, cleanability, and adhesion; and<\/li>\n<li>Has a formulation where allergenic and sensitizing chemicals are as low as possible or not present.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Paint that is Certified Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae is compliant with LEED Low-Emitting Materials credit requirements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Benjamin Moore&#8217;s Eco Spec\u00ae paint meets our Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae certification standards, giving consumers a trusted option backed by scientific testing,&#8221; said\u00a0<span class=\"xn-person\">Kenneth Mendez<\/span>, president and CEO of the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. &#8220;This certification helps consumers confidently choose products that reduce allergens and respiratory irritants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By achieving Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae Certification, Benjamin Moore is giving consumers confidence that the next generation of Eco Spec\u00ae has been independently tested to support improved indoor environments, not only in homes, but also in schools, healthcare facilities, and other commercial spaces,&#8221; said Dr.\u00a0<span class=\"xn-person\">John McKeon<\/span>, CEO of Allergy Standards Limited. &#8220;This achievement reflects Benjamin Moore&#8217;s focus on science-based innovation that helps reduce exposure to allergens and sensitizing chemicals in all settings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin Moore&#8217;s participation in the Asthma &amp; Allergy Friendly\u00ae Certification Program spans more than 10 years.
