Posted By Boh My girlfriend just mailed me this on her lunch break and I had to share it...some will think fair enough..some will laugh at the stereotypical over zealous nature. Hi, Depending how long it takes to do your nails you may be exceeding the occupational exposure limit for the solvent (ethyl acetate) in nail varnish!! TWA value: 400ppm over 15 mins (1.5 g per m3) STEL value: 200ppm over 8 hours (0.7g per m3) Yes we can smell it in my office. COSHH sheets with all nail varnish.......???

Posted By Francis E S Hone It is a disgusting Smell. It would certainly annoy me if i could smell it in my office. Excellent way of telling someone to get on with their job too. (unless it was lunchtime) Frank

Posted By Boh It's methyl actetate anyway, a non VOC.

Posted By Francis E S Hone Peter probably not but it could be considered a Pungent Smell. Regards frank

Posted By MT Still think it's a step too far when it's someone's job to paint other people's nails all day? It's amongst the reasons why anyone working in a beauty salon or nail bar should be using a downdraught table.
