Compare Air Purifier Technologies, Remove VOCs and Chemical Odors.
If you have ever been to a nail salon, you will know how strong the smell is when you walk in.Although this chemical smell may seem normal for the nail salon, the reality is that this strong chemical odor is anything but normal and will provide many risks to the indoor air quality and human health, especially in large levels of exposure.When it comes to removing nail salon fumes from the business's indoor space, there can be several solutions that need to be integrated to provide a safe environment for both employees and patrons.
In this article we are going to learn more about the potential dangers within a nail salon, as well as discuss the best solutions to integrate into this commercial space to mitigate and filter the air of the environment to provide a safer and cleaner indoor environment.
When nail salon have no preventative or safety standards set in place to control and mitigate the indoor air of the amalgam, you could potentially be exposing yourself to an array of chemicals that can be hazardous to your health.The United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration found that nail salon workers are exposed to many different chemicals each day.Exposure to these chemicals can become problematic when the nail salon has limited air flow to help flush them out.If nail salon workers have a longer exposure time to these chemicals, they can become sick with various health effects overtime.
It has become more important for nail salons to follow the regulations set by OSHA for the health and safety of all those individuals exposed to the nail salon indoor space, especially with the growing concern of indoor air quality's linked to health issues.According to the J Immigr Minor Health Journal on Indoor Air Quality Survey of Nail Salons in Boston, employees in nail salons are exposed to a range of volatile organic chemicals that are produced from the products used in the salon.The indoor air quality will be greatly affected by these Volatile Organic Chemicals, and the health effects of those workers with frequent exposure levels to these pollutants in the air will also be significant.
Did you know that there are at least 100 identified chemicals in nail salon products?The New York State Department of Health found that a single nail polish used in a nail salon can contain dozens of chemical ingredients.Is nail polish bad for you?There are other dangerous chemicals that can be found in nail salon products.
The application of acrylic nails is one of the most popular nail trends.A blob of dough is shaped onto your nail with the help of a brush and air-dried.When it comes to the application of this style of nails on an individual, it can lead to significant health effects to not only a person's skin but also to respiratory problems because of the chemical fumes produced from this nail salon product.
According to the Health and Safety Authority, ethyl methacrylate (EMA) can cause fumes and skin irritation, as well as other health effects.When these various chemicals are released into the air space of a nail salon, it will slowly off gas and cause potentially dangerous effects to those exposed to them in the environment, such as workers and customers.This shows how important it is for nail salons to have proper air quality and ventilation solutions within the space, as well as applying nail salon products.
According to the FDA, artificial nails are made from a mixture of acrylic and ethyl methacrylate monomers.Exposure to the chemicals in the air of the salon will cause them to enter the body through the lungs, skin, or the gut.When a nail product is applied to a person's nails it will turn into a gas and off-gas into the air of the nail salon slowly.
In addition to the potential health risks of nail salon products chemicals such as acrylic nail, dust and other particulates produced from this type of artificial nails can also be a major health problem for those individuals exposed to these pollutants indoors.When you walk into a nail salon, you may notice that most of the nail techs have dust masks applied to their face because they are trying to protect themselves from dust that is produced from acrylic nails.
It is never good for a person to breathe in dust over a long period of time.When the nail tech is filing down the nails, the dust produced from them can be harmful to the worker and the customer's health.There are a number of health effects that a person can experience from the fumes and dust that come from acrylic nails.This is one of the reasons why nail salon workers are wearing dust masks to protect themselves from the high levels of exposure to acrylic dust.
The best way to remove harmful chemicals from a salon is through the use of an air purification system.If the concentration of these substances is high in a nail salon, a standard filter in the system may not be able to get the job done, as well as just having air flow within the building from open windows or doors.Many filters trap harmful chemicals and particulates in the air.Once the filter catches the particles, most don't do anything to trap them.There are air quality solutions that will allow for the nail salon chemicals and particulate matter to become trapped and removed completely from the environment through proprietary neutralization technologies.
The EnviroKlenz Air Purifier works through the use of our patented technology that captures, contains, and neutralizing a broad spectrum of noxious and toxic chemicals and odors, including common VOCs present in nail salon products used today.EnviroKlenz will work to break down the chemical and completely rid the environment of it.The second stage of the air purification process uses a hospital-grade HEPA filter for larger particulates at a 99.99 percent efficiency.Dust particles and other particulate matter can accumulate in the space of a nail salon if not captured and removed.This air purifier will give the nail salon commercial space dual protection against both odors and particulates, while also helping to increase air flow in the space, which will help with the industries indoor requirements.
