All the chemicals in a nail salon are they a hazard to your health to breath in?

The masks you see the employees wearing are dust masks for filing nails and doing whatever they do with fake nails.





Dust masks do not prevent chemical exposure, only particulates.





The acetone that is used to remove the nail polish and the alcohol used to clean the nails are hazardous chemicals under OSHA, however, the for time that you are at the salon, you are safe. The employees are more at risk than you are.





Check the Material Safety Data Sheet for the TWA (time weighted average) or PEL (permissable exposure limit) to determine if you fall under the threshold.

absolutely! There should be sufficient airflow or ventilation that these spurious emsssions are removed from the atmosphere of your workplace. there are laws governing this, in the same manner as any other chemical area of employment ( including cigarette smoke) It all comes under the laws of Industrial Health and Safety.All the chemicals in a nail salon are they a hazard to your health to breath in?
Yes, anything that smells that pungent can not be healthy for anyone. This is why you see people wearing masks. However, they offer only a small amount of protection against the chemicals in the air. So if you're working there, you should probably quit.
have u ever wondered why, when they're fixing your nails that they wear masks?! yes they are bad for you, not only to breath in but to actually wear also. The people that put them on for you at the salon never wear them, when was the last time you've seen them wearing it, all the stores that u go to or places like salons they wear the products that they sell or they have nice hair, but with nail slons they dont even wear them because they no that they are bad for you.
YES HAVEN'T YOU NOTICE THAT THEY COVER UP THEIR NOSES!!ITS HARMFUL TO INHALE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
