Article Synopsis
- Health concerns for cosmetologists and manicurists arise from their daily exposure to products containing carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.
- A study from California examined cancer cases among female cosmetology licensees from 1988-2005, identifying 9,044 cancer cases out of 325,228 workers.
- The overall cancer incidence rates were lower for both cosmetologists and manicurists, but there were notable increases in thyroid cancer for all licensees and lung cancer for manicurists, highlighting the need for more research due to demographic limitations.
