Personal and area samples for organic vapors and polymethacrylate dust were collected in six different sculptured nail salons. Self-administered symptom questionnaires were completed by 20 female nail sculptors and 20 matched controls. Mean time-weighted average concentrations (TWACs) of ethyl methacrylate, isopropyl alcohol, butyl acetate and toluene in 17 personal organic vapors samples collected in these establishments were 4.5, 15.6, 0.4 and 0.8 ppm, respectively. The mean TWACs of polymethacrylate dust in 16 personal samples were 0.9 mg/m3 and 1.4 mg/m3 for respirable dust and total dust, respectively. The only statistically significant (p less than .05) health effect noted among sculptors was throat irritation. Also, nose and skin irritation, drowziness, dizzy spells and trembling of the hands were reported consistently more often by sculptors than the control group; however, the difference was not statistically significant.
在六家不同的美甲沙龙采集了个人和工作区域的有机蒸汽及聚甲基丙烯酸酯粉尘样本。20名女性美甲师和20名匹配的对照组人员完成了自我管理的症状调查问卷。在这些场所采集的17份个人有机蒸汽样本中，甲基丙烯酸乙酯、异丙醇、乙酸丁酯和甲苯的平均时间加权平均浓度（TWACs）分别为4.5、15.6、0.4和0.8 ppm。16份个人样本中，可吸入粉尘和总粉尘中聚甲基丙烯酸酯粉尘的平均TWACs分别为0.9 mg/m3和1.4 mg/m3。美甲师中唯一具有统计学意义（p小于0.05）的健康影响是喉咙刺激。此外，美甲师报告的鼻子和皮肤刺激、嗜睡、头晕发作和手部颤抖情况始终比对照组更频繁；然而，差异无统计学意义。
