Graffiti - Health and safety

Spray paint is highly flammable this means you should not use a naked flame anywhere near spray paint as it can set alight.

You can absorb spray paint into your body by inhaling them, swallowing them or absorbing them through the skin. Inhalation is the most common way of

poisoning yourself since materials can be in the form of dusts or powders, sprays and mists, or vapours and gases. Since we are all being affected by thousands of chemicals in our environment 24/7, it makes sense to try to minimise this where we can. You can reduce the chances by staying it in a well ventilated are, wearing gloves, goggles and a breathing mask.
