Do Indoor Epoxy Floors Pose Long‑Term Health Risks? A Reddit Take

A quick Reddit thread on r/Flooring asked whether indoor epoxy floors carry long‑term health risks. Posted by u/exo‑XO, the discussion drew a small but engaged response (7 votes and 5 comments).

The top reply summed up the consensus in blunt terms: there’s no long‑term risk from being around cured epoxy. Commenters acknowledged that most epoxy products — and many other building materials — can produce a noticeable smell during or shortly after installation, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were mentioned as part of that concern.

In short: the leading comment in the thread reassured readers that once epoxy is fully cured it isn’t associated with long‑term risks, while noting that smells and VOCs are common around the time of application.
