处理沙龙化学品离不开手套

Helping clients look their best may come at a price for salon workers because they are often exposed to hazardous chemicals. Hair and nail salon workers handle potentially toxic chemicals on a daily basis, and they need to know how to protect themselves. Employees must be aware of the risks and don the right personal protective equipment based on the chemicals they handle. Here are some common salon chemicals and barrier protection for each:

帮助顾客寻求最好的（沙龙体验）也许会给沙龙工作者（一个极大的）代价。因为它们会经常接触有害化学品。美发和美甲师日常要处理潜在的有害化学品，他们需要知道怎样去保护他们自己。工作人员必须意识到这个风险，并基于他们处理的化学品，穿戴好正确的个人防护设备。这里有一些常见的沙龙化学品和它们相对应的防护屏障。

Acetone
A common ingredient in both nail polish remover and hairspray, acetone may cause skin irritation. In some cases, there may not be sufficient alternatives to allow salon workers to completely avoid exposure to this chemical. However, latex gloves offer superior barrier protection so employees minimize skin exposure. Nitrile and vinyl are not resistant to acetone, so latex is the best choice for handling acetone. However, depending on the length of exposure to chemicals, nitrile may be a better choice to avoid exposure to latex.

丙酮

它是一种在指甲油和发胶中的常见成分，它可能会导致皮肤刺激。在某些情况下，有可能没有足够的代替品让沙龙工作人员完全避免接触这种化学物质。但是，乳胶手套可以提供优越的防护屏障，从而使工作人员尽可能减少皮肤暴露。丁腈和乙烯基是不耐丙酮的，所以乳胶是处理丙酮的最佳选择。但基于暴露于化学品的（时间）长度而言，比起乳胶，丁腈可能是避免（皮肤）暴露（于化学品）的更好选择。

Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde, which is often found in nail polish and nail hardeners, is one of the riskiest chemicals for salon workers to handle because it may cause cancer after long-term exposure. From short-term exposure, formaldehyde causes skin irritation and dermatitis. Even low concentrations of formaldehyde may lead to negative side effects. The U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration(OSHA) recommended respirators for handling formaldehyde. Many salons are well-ventilated, but N95-rated masks filter out dust and germs. Gloves should also be used to protect the skin. Latex, vinyl and nitrile gloves offer protection from this chemical for concentrations up to 99 percent.

甲醛

甲醛，一种常出现于指甲油和指甲硬化剂（的化学品），是沙龙工作人员处理最危险的化学品之一。因为长期接触可能会致癌。短期接触甲醛会导致皮肤刺激和皮炎。即使是低浓度的甲醛也可能会导致副作用。美国职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）推荐处理甲醛时要戴口罩。（虽然）许多美容院通风良好，但（使用）N95K口罩能过滤掉尘埃和细菌。手套应该也可以用来保护皮肤。橡胶、乙烯基和丁腈手套可以提供保护，免受高达99%浓度的化学品。

Trichloroethylene
Often used in hair extension glue and lace wig glue, trichloroethylene may cause eye and skin irritation, as well as nausea and disorientation. Long-term exposure may lead to dermatitis and liver and kidney damage. Nitrile gloves provide protection against this chemical. In addition, vinyl gloves may be used for a limited time to guard against trichloroethylene exposure. 

三氯乙烯

三氯乙烯常用在头发增长胶和花边假发胶水中。三氯乙烯可能会造成眼睛及皮肤刺激，也会造成恶心犯晕。长期接触可能会导致皮炎和肝、肾脏损伤。丁腈手套提供了防止这些化学品的保护。此外，乙烯基手套可在有限时间内防止三氯乙烯（的侵害）。

Dibutyl phthalate
Dibutyl phthalate is found in nail polish and may cause skin irritation. Within the selection of glove materials, nitrile gloves protect workers from dibutyl phthalate whereas latex gloves may be used for a limited time to protect from this chemical.

苯二甲酸正丁酯

苯二甲酸正丁酯常用于指甲油，可能会造成皮肤刺激。在手套材料的选择上，鉴于乳胶手套（只能在）有限时间内保护工作人员免受苯二甲酸（的侵害），而丁腈手套可以保护工作人员免受其（侵害）。

Toulene
Used in many different industries and common in a number of beauty products, including nail polish, nail glue, hair dye and hairpiece bonding, toulene is one of the most toxic chemicals in salons. It has been linked to skin rashes, nausea, eye irritation and headaches. If workers are exposed to this chemical for an extended length of time, it may lead to birth defects or the loss of a pregnancy. Because this chemical is so toxic, vinyl gloves may be used, but for only a limited time.

甲苯

甲苯被用于许多不同的行业，常大量出现在一些美容产品中，包括指甲油、指甲胶、染发剂和接发粘接剂。甲苯是沙龙（行业中）最有害的化学物质之一。它能导致皮疹、恶心、眼睛刺激、头疼。如果工作人员接触到了这种化学物质，时间长了，它可能会导致胎儿畸形和妊娠丢失。由于这种化学物质是有毒的，使用乙烯基手套（可以防护），但只限于有限的时间内。

Because concentrations may vary, it is important to check the safety data sheet issued by the manufacturer and conduct in-house testing to determine the safe exposure time. Gloves should always be replaced if they are torn or compromised in any way. Although nitrile gloves offer barrier protection against many common salon chemicals, it is crucial to understand the recommendations for each solution. Concentrations may vary by manufacturer, and salons need to ensure they select the right gloves for the application. In addition to chemicals, salon workers need gloves to protect them from customers' nails, blood or skin.

因为（化学物质的）浓度可能有所不同，通过检查制造商所发的安全数据，进行内部测试以确定安全的（皮肤）接触时间是很重要的。如果手套被撕扯或以其他方式被损害，它就应该经常更换。虽然丁腈手套针对许多常见的沙龙化学品提供了防护屏障，（但是）了解每一个解决对策的方案是很关键的。浓度可能会根据制造商（的不同）而不同，美容院需要确保他们选择了正确的手套。除了化学品，沙龙工作人员需要（穿戴）手套来保护他们不受顾客指甲、血液、皮肤（的伤害）。
