What do painters and artists do? Is this job harmful to health?

Due to long-term toxic and harmful operations and dust and radiation pollution, more and more painters suffer from occupational diseases. According to long-term follow-up investigation, most painters have symptoms of cough, fatigue, headache, chest tightness and limb weakness for more than 10 years. Moreover, "the proportion of this group suffering from aplastic anemia, tuberculosis, pleurisy and other serious diseases is quite high." At present, solvent-based coatings are used in the market, and 60% of the solvents in ready mixed paint (including benzene, toluene, xylene and other toxic and harmful substances) will volatilize at the job site. If the workers' protective conditions are poor, there are even no protective measures, or some protective articles with high quality and low price and low protective performance are used. Therefore, field workers have to passively inhale a large number of toxic and harmful substances.
