Is nail polish remover hazardous

Answer 1

some nail polish removers are bad for your nails, as they dry out the nail, because they are acidic, this leaves your nail quite brittle and easily snapped, however, you can get nail polish remover pads that moisturise the nail as well as remove polish.

Nail polish remover, is not that harmful to you, as long as you don't inhale too many of the fumes, as most nail polish removers are classed as solvents

Nail Polish remover is quite bad for you so try not to inhale it too much. Its very toxic and if you use like a lot of it a year it can cause some diseases.

Answer 2

Nail Varnish remover is a chemical called Acetone (Propan-2-one)

Acetone is extremely flammable so if you were to light a large volume on fire it would no doubt kill you if you couldn't escape.

However the human body does naturally produce and dispose of Acetone. Although it is considered to have low toxicity if ingested or inhaled (neither are advisable) high inhalation can cause throat irritation and can effect eyesight.

Answer 3

Nail polish remover is highly flammable, would not be good for one's digestive system if swallowed, and should not be inhaled very much. If used with care to remove nail polish, in a well ventilated location, nail polish remover should do no harm.

Answer 4

yes, the fumes can make you nauseous, also, do not spill it on a wood surface, it will take the colour right out of the wood, it will also stain your clothes

Answer 5

No but 2 mouth fulls will get you super sick and you will have to go to hospital. A drop shouldnt do much harm!

Answer 6

Acetone has a threshold limit value of 1200ppm, so it is relatively safe from an exposure perspective, but it is highly flammable.

Answer 7
