| Abstract |
Following six cases of occupational asthma in cosmetologists working with artificial fingernails, exposure conditions in nail salons and cosmetology schools were evaluated and various controls were examined. A commercially available recirculating downdraft manicure table with charcoal filters was modified and tested. Modifications included increasing the downdraft air volume, removal of the charcoal air filters, and installation of an exhaust system. Use of the modified table reduced personal exposure to ethyl methacrylate more than tenfold, compared to an unventilated table. |
