STUDENT PRESENTATION

Boston, 2nd Fl.
Hayes Conf. Room
Please join us to learn about the
environmental health hazards that
are faced by workers and clients of
Boston nail salons.
In order to gain a deeper understanding of the exposures that
occur in the nail salons, the Environmental Health and Justice JBS
(‘‘Justice Brandeis Semester’’) at Brandeis University, in
collaboration with a local community group (Viet -AID), and the
Boston Public Health Commission, conducted a study that
assesses nail salon workers’ exposure to specific volatile organic
compounds. The results of this study and the lessons learned
will be presented.
All are encouraged to attend!
