OMG! For the second time a woman has passed out at my nail salon!

2. too much exposure - definitely

The dust masks that they wear are not protection from the volatile organic compounds that are in the air of the salon. There was an incident in Seattle where a woman took her baby to the salon while she had her nails done. That evening she had to take the baby to the ER because he was having one seizure after another.

The chemicals used in nail salons are known to be neurotoxic. I fear for the workers and their health in the future. Most are from Viet Nam and Cambodia - people without much clout and they will be thrown overboard when they get too sick to work -likely no workers comp.

California has some rules for nail salons that would decrease exposure but doubt many other states do. Please google around to find out what those chemicals are - "nail salon chemicals." Then look up what those chemicals are about. Bad stuff for the brain.

here is a page that shows the chemicals: http://www.orosha.org/pdf/pubs/fact_sheets/fs28.pdf
