“ I have been most concerned about how hard it’s been to carry a
pregnancy through term. I have had 2 miscarriages. I don’t know if they
are due to the chemicals I work with, but I heard they may cause
reproductive problems…”
“I started working as a manicurist because I speak little English, but I ended up
suffering from asthma and lung problems. Twelve years later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was then that I decided
to stop working as a manicurist after sacrificing my health and my life for a
living.”
“My husband and I both who are manicurists, and we have a son who
was born with a severe developmental disability. Our other friends who work in nail salons also have children with
disabilities. We wonder if this is related to our work.”
