Yes - if you use fans and open windows to ventilate the air in the room you are painting.
Water based paints, water colour paint even.
No, there are no chemicals in water borne latex paint that will catch fire, no matter how hard you might try.
In the past oil paints referred to either petroleum based paints or linseed based paints. Today in the USA petroleum based paints are no longer sold and it is difficult to find linseed based paints though they do exist with a small proportion of linseed oil. Alkyd paints are made with synthetic oil and are readily available and have come to be known as "oil" paint.
Unfortunately combining oil and water in paint always results in disaster. Oil based paints must be thinned with solvent. Brushes used to paint oil based paints also need to be cleaned with solvent.
Latex and acrylic (both water-based paints) do come in a semi-gloss finish.
There are two main types of paint in common use: water based and oil based. The water based paints contain various substances including latex that are dissolved or suspended in the water. Oil base paints contain resins dissolved or suspended in oil, typically linseed oil. So, not every paint uses water as a carrier.
Electrically non conducting paint does not conduct electricity in any way. This type of paint is an insulator. Standard water-based paints or acrylic paints are normally non conducting paint.

Both the water based paints and the oil based paints can be used on the concrete fountains. However, the oil-based pains are the best as they cannot be washed easily unlike the water based paints.
Gloss paints are available in all types of bases. The most common gloss paints used in homes are either oil based or water based alkyds or water based acrylic or vinyls latexes.
Emulsion paint is water based - thinned with water, brushes cleaned with water.Solvent paints are thinned with solvents/thinners, and the brushes are cleaned in turps, etc.
The oil and water based paints are the type of paint that the allied waste use on the dumpsters.
