摘要

Small businesses, like beauty salons, employ a high proportion of minority and low-wage workers, yet occupational health interventions seldom reach these workers due to physical, social, cultural, and economic barriers. Our objective was to characterize workers' exposure to VOCs in beauty salons in the marginalized, predominantly Latino area of southern Arizona. Businesses were recruited via community health workers. A photo-ionization detector, calibrated with isobutylene, was used to measure real-time VOC concentration in 20 second intervals over 40 work shifts across 10 beauty salons. Summa canisters were used as a stationary monitor to measure the concentration of 70 specific VOCs in workplace air. In half of the businesses studied, Summa canister measurements were taken on two separate days. Workers' activities, ventilation conditions, and other business characteristics were recorded. Chemical inventories were compiled at each business. Mixed models were used to estimate VOC exposure and variance components between and within shops and workers. Thirty-one specific VOCs were detected in workplace air across all 10 shops with a median of 8 chemicals detected per sampling event (range: 1-18). Different chemicals were detected on different days within the same shop. We inventoried 123 products across the shops and identified 231 specific chemicals. Mixed models showed that the highest VOC exposures occurred during hair styling and cutting, followed by hair processing. Peak exposures were most commonly associated with application of hair oil followed by blow drying. The concentrations reported in this study are higher than those reported in previously published studies. Variability was greatest within worker, followed by between-shop, -day, and -worker, respectively. Beauty salon workers have highly variable VOC exposures related to their activities and chosen products at their salon. Interventions aimed at reducing exposures for this at-risk population.
