Acrylic paint has been represented for decades to be "completely safe" because it is water-based, and therefore does not require a solvent to clean up. This is a myth, however, as the formaldehyde released by the paint in drying and absorbed by the skin from paint on hands, especially under the fingernails (which is highly absorbent) can lead to health problems. Don't believe the "safe" claims associated with acrylics--they should not be used by students in unventilated classrooms, for example, nor should they be freely allowed contact with the skin.
