OBJECTIVES
The City of San Francisco, California established a recognition program for nail salons that use safer nail products and receive worker safety training. This pilot study examined whether participating salons had reduced levels of toluene, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), and improved knowledge and behavior compared to control salons.
METHODS
We conducted personal air monitoring and administered surveys assessing knowledge and behaviors of two workers from each of six intervention salons and five control salons. We conducted assessments before and after the worker training.
RESULTS
Although non-significant, there was a reduction in toluene (-46% vs. 0%) and TVOC (-19% vs. +47%), but an increase in MMA (+113% and +72%) among intervention salons compared to control salons. Awareness of dibutyl phthalates in nail products increased (+55%) among intervention salons between surveys.
CONCLUSIONS
A government-administered nail salon recognition program may reduce chemical exposures and increase work-related knowledge.
目的
加利福尼亚州旧金山市为使用更安全美甲产品并接受工人安全培训的美甲沙龙设立了一项认可计划。这项试点研究调查了与对照沙龙相比，参与计划的沙龙中甲苯、甲基丙烯酸甲酯（MMA）和总挥发性有机化合物（TVOC）的含量是否降低，以及知识和行为是否有所改善。
方法
我们对来自六家干预沙龙和五家对照沙龙的两名工人进行了个人空气监测，并开展了评估知识和行为的调查。我们在工人培训前后进行了评估。
结果
与对照沙龙相比，干预沙龙中的甲苯（-46%对0%）和TVOC（-19%对+47%）虽未显著降低，但MMA有所增加（+113%和+72%）。在两次调查期间，干预沙龙中对美甲产品中邻苯二甲酸二丁酯的认知有所提高（+55%）。
结论
政府管理的美甲沙龙认可计划可能会减少化学物质暴露并增加与工作相关的知识。
