Water based replacement to 2k PU clear?

Hi! I'm sick of wondering if I'm killing me softly with 2k PU clear based on well known harmful solvents and that kind of stuff.
Has anybody tried any water based products? I believe I heard of Glasurit releasing water based clear on their automotive line, but haven't found much about it. I still intend to sand down to polish with Menzerna products so wet application gloss doesn't need to be top notch (I've never succeeded in it anyway).
By the way, I do my clear painting in a DIY little booth, in a small toilet at one end of my apartment, close the door, open the window and wear a mask (nose and mouth covered with mandatory filter) and use the mask from the moment I open the cans to prepare the mix up to when I leave that toilet with everything cleared and cleaned. I still feel a bit dizzy and have strange feelings when I breath during the next 24hs. So yeah, I'm starting to hate this product. And I only use it about 6 times a year, tops, as I don't have much time for modeling.

Any input about my procedures or about something "less" harmful?

Thx!
