Περίληψη – Summary
|
Στην εργασία αυτή παρουσιάζονται οι μετρήσεις και η αξιολόγηση ορισμένων χημικών παραμέτρων που αφορούν την υγεία των εργαζομένων σε χώρους εργαστηρίων αισθητικής. Πραγματοποιήθηκαν μετρήσεις σε εργαστήρια Αισθητικής στην περιοχή της Αθήνας. Οι χημικές ουσίες που επελέγησαν για έρευνα ήταν οι πτητικές οργανικές ουσίες, οι οποίες παρουσιάζουν το μεγαλύτερο ενδιαφέρον, εφόσον οι συγκεντρώσεις τους στα εργαστήρια Αισθητικής δείχνουν μεγάλη διακύμανση, ανάλογα με τα προϊόντα που χρησιμοποιούνται. Έτσι οι 8ωρες μέσες συγκεντρώσεις τους κυμαίνονταν μεταξύ 100 και 1450 μg/m3, ενώ οι βραχυχρόνιες μετρήσεις δείχνουν ότι κατά τη διάρκεια των θεραπειών τα επίπεδα σε αρκετές περιπτώσεις ήταν πολύ υψηλότερα. Οι κυριότερες ενώσεις που εμφανίστηκαν στην ατμόσφαιρα των εργαστηρίων Αισθητικής είναι αρωματικές ενώσεις (τολουόλιο, ξυλόλιο) εστέρες και κετόνες (οξικός αιθυλεστέρας, ακετόνη κ.ά.) οι οποίοι χρησιμοποιούνται στα διάφορα προϊόντα ομορφιάς ως διαλύτες και αρωματικές ενώσεις όπως είναι τα τερπένια (πινένιο, λιμονένιο, καμφορά, μενθενόλη). Με βάση τα αποτελέσματα των μετρήσεων πτητικών οργανικών ενώσεων τα επίπεδα που εμφανίζονται είναι δυνατό να μειωθούν σημαντικά εφόσον ακολουθούνται συγκεκριμένες πρακτικές. The aim of this study was to examine the exposure of beauty therapists working in salons to specific pollutants. The indoor environment in four beauty salons located in Athens area, Greece, was examined in order to investigate the occupational health exposure of cosmetologists to chemical substances that are included in the various chemical products used in their work. Chemical substances chosen to be investigated were volatile organic compounds. TVOC levels measured showed significant variation (100-1450 μg.m3) depending on the use of products and their characteristics, the number of treatments carried out as well as air ventilation. The detected individual volatile organic compounds varied from area to area depending on the beauty products used. The main volatile organic compounds found in the salons were aromatics (toluene, xylene) esters and ketones (ethyl acetate, acetone, etc.) which are used in many beauty products as solvents, terpenes (pinene, limonene, camphor, menthenol) which have a particular odour, while some others such as camphor have specific properties. Beauty therapists may be exposed to high concentrations of a mixture of volatile organic compounds. These high levels though could be significantly decreased by following certain practices. |
