Can nail polish be harmful on metal?
Asked by Wiki User
Nail polish is toxic if swallowed, and harmful if inhaled.
It is harmless if used properly.
Another answer:
Choose a variety of nail polish that contains the LEAST amount of harmful toxins as possible, and always apply it in a well ventilated area.
Try to avoid using nail polish containing the following potentially hazardous materials:
Dibutyl Phthalate, or DBP. Lab tests link this chemical to cancer in lab animals, and to underdeveloped genitals and other fertility problems in newborn boys. Tests have shown Phthalates to affect hormone function, and studies link them to early puberty in girls and low sperm counts in men. Repeated exposure may cause nausea, vomiting, tearing of the eyes, dizziness, and headaches. Long term exposure may cause damage to the kidneys and liver. The US FDA doesn't require that cosmetics be tested for long-term effects before coming to market; nor is it requiring companies stop using DBP.
Toluene - a human reproductive and developmental toxin. It has been linked to birth defects in lab animals. It may affect a person's nervous system. Symptoms may include: Tiredness, confusion, memory loss, weakness. It it thought to also cause liver damage, and skin irritation. Higher levels may affect the kidneys as well.
Formaldehyde - has caused cancer in the nose and throat of lab animals. It is a carcinogen (could cause cancer) and an indoor pollutant. Inhalation can cause headache, watery eyes, burning in the throat, and labored breathing.
