Despite many warnings about health problems among nail workers in other countries, data concerning exposure to chemical hazards among nail workers is still limited in Vietnam. In this study, we aimed to identify exposure to volatile organic compounds and their relationship with occupational symptoms among Vietnamese female nail salon workers.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was conducted in Danang, Vietnam, from January 2019 to September 2019. Total 42 personal passive samplers were collected to evaluate 12 substances from 21 nail workers (15 salons) twice a week. We chose one representative worker from each of the nine salons with less than six workers and two representative workers from each of the six salons with over five workers for personal sampling based on the principle of similar exposure groups. We interviewed a total of 100 nail workers in 15 salons and 100 office workers in offices adjacent to the salons to compare occupational symptoms among them.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The commonly detected compounds in nail salons were acetone (97.6%), butyl acetate (83.3%), and ethyl acetate and ethyl methacrylate (78%). The concentration of total target VOCs was related to the number of serviced customers, the concentration of CO2, and general ventilation used. The subjective symptoms were significantly higher for the nail workers than for the comparison subjects, that is, headache, nausea, nose irritation, skin irritation, shortness of breath, and confusion. Among 100 nail workers, nose irritation was significantly higher for nail workers who were exposed to acetone at levels exceeding the Vietnam occupational exposure limit (VOEL) adjusted with the Brief-Scala model.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Exposure to VOCs such as acetone in nail salons results in occupational symptoms among workers.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/1348-9585.12160","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]],"date-time":"2020-09-19T05:24:10Z","timestamp":1600493050000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Occupational symptoms due to exposure to volatile organic compounds among female Vietnamese nail salon workers in Danang city"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6415-8021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huan M","family":"Tran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Public Health, Thammasat University , Rangsit, Thailand"},{"name":"Faculty of Public Health, Da Nang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy , Da Nang, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanh T M","family":"Bui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Quarantine Service, Danang Center for Disease Control , Da Nang, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Somkiat","family":"Thoumsang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Public Health, Thammasat University , Rangsit, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ngoc T B","family":"Ngo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Public Health, Da Nang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy , Da Nang, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nhan P T","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Community Health Research, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hue University , Hue, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hai T M","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Da Nang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy , Da Nang, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Son M","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, Da Nang University of Medical Technology and Pharmacy , Da Nang, Viet Nam"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kunio","family":"Hara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Safety and Health Management, University of Occupational and Environmental Health , Kitakyushu, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Supat","family":"Wangwongwatana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Public Health, Thammasat University , Rangsit, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"2024071808021661700_joh212160-bib-0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"169","DOI":"10.3961\/jpmph.2014.47.3.169","article-title":"Assessment of occupational symptoms and chemical exposures for nail salon technicians in Daegu City, Korea","volume":"47","author":"Park","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Prev Med Public Health"},{"key":"2024071808021661700_joh212160-bib-0002","article-title":"Department of Health.
