In-Depth Survey Report: An Evaluation of Local Exhaust Ventilation Systems for Controlling Hazardous Exposures in Nail Salons.

摘要

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted a laboratory research project to evaluate the effectiveness of local exhaust ventilation controls for preventing worker exposure to chemicals in nail salons. Nail salon employees are potentially exposed to dozens of hazardous chemicals including acrylates, solvents, and biocides in the form of dusts or vapors. Exposure to these chemicals on the job have been examined by a small but growing number of studies that have found possible links between nail technicians work and adverse health outcomes including respiratory, neurological, and musculoskeletal disorders, as well as other health conditions including cancer.
