The Problem – Nail Salon Dust & Vapors

In a nail salon, it is very important to minimize the inhalation exposure of nail products. Nail salons have many vapors and dusts in the air that can affect customers and nail professionals. Every substance has safe and unsafe levels of exposure; when safe levels are exceeded, there is a chance of injury. To avoid this, nail salons should follow certain guidelines to ensure that nail services are performed in the safest way possible.

According to an updated O.S.H.A. / Nails Manufacturer’s Council brochure, “Guidelines for Controlling and Minimizing Inhalation Hazards to Nail Products”, improving salon air quality through proper ventilation is one way to control these vapors and dusts. Proper ventilation creates a pleasant environment for nail professionals and customers alike, and can help sensitive individuals avoid symptoms caused by vapors and dusts. To ensure salon air quality, proper maintenance of the salons HVAC system in essential.
