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.

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).

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.

Clean Air For Cosmetologists!It’s A Simple Equation!

Prolonged Exposure + Inadequate Ventilation = Increased Risk For Poor Health
