Oh my gosh! Yes!!! My father is a manager of an auto body department for one of the larger car dealers, and he has been painting and doing body work for many many years. He now has COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and it is because of the paint fumes, he did not always wear a mask. If you ask him a question, you usually have to repeat it. He is not on the ball like he used to be anymore. And, not only does his brain cells go bye bye, so does his breathing. Paint affects both.

Yes, sniffing paint fumes (high concentration) will kill brain cells. It is cutting off the amount of oxygen that goes to the brain, and which the brain needs to survive, and therefore kills cells. If you are just in a room that's been painted recently, the effect is much less if not even gone because the concentration of paint molecules is lower.

I heard that taking drugs, smoking, etc.,do lot of damage to the brain cells. But smelling of paint only kills a few brain cells unless you are continuosly smelling the paint.

I have done several projects on the subject of inhalents. The stuff does kill brain cells and it can be very addicting. You should only smell paint when painting, keep the room well ventalated when you do.

If prolonged inhalation of the odor is experienced, certain ingredients in paint as in glue will mix with the blood as it is oxygenated in the lungs and upon delivery to the brain can kill brain cells to the amount of in excess of 100,000 per experience.

I'm not sure if it is the paint that kills them, or the act of cutting open your skull so you can get to them with a paint brush.
Either way, I'd advise against painting your brain.

That claim is a bit extreme, although true. It kills very very few brain cells, as does any other toxic chemical. However, keep in mind that the average human only uses 10% of his or her brain cells in a lifetime, so it really would have no affect on the individual. Regardless, it's still correct.

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!!

AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION---

However, if you just painted a room and the odor is strong, just open a window... there are nominal effects from just painting a room in your house.
Hope this helps and have a great day!!!

Anytime you inhale a chemical that is not beneficial to the body, it harms the body. Every time you deny oxygen acess to your brain, brain cells die.
