Do you like Manicure? Manicurists' chemicals are health hazards, research says

New York Times - The health of the nation’s 300,000 nail salon workers has become a major concern for many environmental and women’s organizations, which often point to academic studies that highlight the hazards posed by the chemicals manicurists use.

Studies led by professors at Wayne State University in Detroit and published in a journal on neurology found that nail salon work was associated with poor performance on tests of attention, mental processing speed, memory and verbal learning.

A study by researchers at the University of Toronto and other institutions found that children who were prenatally exposed to the compounds these workers use performed worse on tests for cognitive function, language and behavior.

“The intensity of exposure for salon workers is 1,200 times what it would be for the average American,” said Sonya Lunder, a senior analyst for the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit organization that seeks to protect public health and the environment. “Immigrant women often don’t understand the safety information.”
