Why is wood polish bad for the environment?

Wood polish often contains harmful chemicals, such as solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can release toxins into the air and contribute to indoor air pollution. These substances can have detrimental effects on human health and the environment, including respiratory issues and ecosystem damage. Additionally, the production and disposal of these polishes may involve unsustainable practices that harm forests and ecosystems. Seeking eco-friendly alternatives can help mitigate these environmental impacts.
