Butyl and ethyl acetate cause central nervous system problems. Nitrocellulose increases heart rates. Dibutyl phthalate is a carcinogen. Toluene can cause birth defects and is harmful to the reproductive system. Formaldehyde is another carcinogen.
Camphor produces nose and sinus irritation.
Recently, I found that the particulate pollution of nail filing dust particles is average of PM2.0. Under California Proposition 65, hazardous substances must have warning labels. Additionally, it requires that toluene and formaldehyde be removed from nail polishes. But the warning labels will not prevent nail technicians from getting occupational illnesses. Therefore I have invented the NailSafe Ventilation System, which is a simple solution that can save the health of many nail technicians.
