  2. Clean Air for Cosmetologist! • Occupational Indoor Air Quality • Chemicals used in personal appearance facilities • What is adequate ventilation? • Enforcing adequate ventilation?

  3. Occupational Air Quality for Personal Appearance Facilities! • The Oregon Mechanical Specialty Code • “How’s the Air in There?” Reference: Bohot, K. (2007 , April). Oregon Board News: "How the Air in There?". Retrieved November 1, 2010, from Oregon Board of Cosmetology: http://www.stylistnewspapers.com//board_news/or_board_news_archives/0407_hows_the_air_in_there.html Oregon Mechanical Specialty Code. (2007). Retrieved October 30, 2010, from http://www2.iccsafe.org/states/oregon/07_mechanical/07_PDFs/Chapter%204_Ventilation.pdf

  4. Products Containing Possible Air-Borne Hazardous Materials • Hair dyes • Bleaches • Permanents Wave Solutions • Shampoos • Hair Styling Agents • Hair Straighteners • Nail Polish and Removers • Nail enhancement products • Disinfectant and cleaning products

  5. Some The Hazardous Airborne Materials? • Ammonia – hair • Hydrogen Peroxide – hair • Para-Phenylenediamine hair • Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) – hair • Persulfate Salts - hair • Acetone - Nail • Dibutyl phthalate - Nail • Toluene - Nail • Ethyl Methacylate - Nail * MSDS information provided by http://www.sciencelab.com

  6. Occupational Asthma and Rhinitis • Approximately 15% of asthma cases among adults are work related. • Persulfate salts and para-phenylenediamine have been documented as having an association with occupational asthma.

  7. Bladder Cancer • “There is an increased and significant risk for bladder cancer among hairdressers, particularly those who have worked in the industry more than 10 years (Harling, Schablon, & Schedlbauer, 2010, p.351). Reference Harling, M., Schablon, A., & Schedlbauer, G. (2010). Bladder cancer among hairdressers: a meta-analysis. Occupational Environment Medicine , (67)351-358 received on October 30, 2010 from http://oem.bmj.com/content/67/5/351.full.pdf.

  8. Cleaner IN-Door Air! How Do We Get There • Determine the number of personal care facilities with no or inadequate ventilation • Define and list possible ventilation systems that facilities could use and where they can be purchased. • Revise Administrative Rules and Regulations which states every facility is required to have some type of ventilation system before a facility license is issued. • Establish fines for facilities that do not have adequate ventilation.

  9. Clean Air For Cosmetologists!It’s A Simple Equation! Prolonged Exposure + Inadequate Ventilation = Increased Risk For Poor Health
