How many paint chemicals do you have to breathe to get cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No clear answer here: It takes a lot of chemical exposure over a very long period of time before you worry about developing cancer as a result of this exposure. So do not worry about it right now. But protect yourself from future exposure when avoidable.
