Acrylic paint is generally considered non-toxic when used as intended. However, precautions should be taken to avoid prolonged skin contact, ingestion, and inhalation of fumes. It's important to work in a well-ventilated area and to follow basic safety guidelines for handling any art materials.

Acrylic paints contain small amounts of ammonia, which some people may be sensitive to. People may experience eye, nose, and throat irritation. Acrylics and some gouaches contain trace amounts of formaldehyde as a preservative.
