Solvent (nail polish; restricted, debated)
What is it, what should you do?
A solvent in nail polish and nail products. Continuously inhaling its vapor affects the nervous system; the real risk is for those exposed every day, such as hairdressers and manicurists. For applying polish occasionally at home a ventilated room is enough; polishes labeled "3-free / 5-free" do not contain this substance.
