At the breathing height foremployees in a nail shop, the concentrations of organic solvents were the highest (16.61ppm), followed byethyl acetate 1.23ppm, butyl acetate 0.40ppm, toluene 0.27ppm, n-hexane 0.25ppm and isopropyl alcohol0.21ppm. With regard to employees' consciousness symptoms (frequent fatigue' 100%, 'headache' 90.3%,'nasal irritation' 77.4%, 'irritation in eyes' 71.0%, 'score throat' 64.5% and 'coughing' 51.6%), statisticallysignificant difference has been observed (p<0.01).In particular, this paper has been aimed to suggest ground data for revision of the regulations that arerelated with the indoor air quality of nail shop and the guidelines for employees' health.
