low voc, instead of no voc paint for nursery and kid's room

I get the concern about checking the VOC content. I am a scientist though and my guess is that the reduction in cancer risk between low VOC and zero VOC is probably negligible especially if you air out the rooms well. Zero VOC probably does not even mean no VOCs, just lower than a certain amount.
I'm just surprised that if you care so much about it, you wouldn't just drive 20 extra min and go to a specialized BM paint center and get exactly what you want. Once, you enter Home Depot and start making substitutions, all bets are off. I am much more detail oriented than my husband, and when something is that important to me, I make sure to buy it myself. Good luck with your painting project.

Why was this thread revived after 3 years? Strange.
