Can nail polish cause leukemia? Will nail polish fade?

Nail polish is a kind of cosmetic product that many of us have used. At the same time, we all know that nail polish is harmful to a certain extent. So we need to know whether nail polish can cause leukemia? Will nail polish fade?

Nail polish will not cause leukemia. The main ingredients of nail polish are benzene and formaldehyde, both of which are carcinogens, but leukemia is not caused by just one nail polish. This small amount of short-term contact will not cause leukemia. If you are in contact with nail polish for a long time, it will be very harmful to your body, but if you only do a manicure occasionally or smell the smell of nail polish occasionally, you will not get leukemia. The main conditions for the onset of leukemia are long-term exposure to radiation, ultraviolet rays, dust fibers represented by asbestos, and various harmful substances represented by cadmium and asphalt. But the most fundamental factor is still caused by gene and chromosome mutations. Among leukemia patients, 8.1% have a family history, while the control group only has 0.5%. The incidence of acute lymphocytic leukemia is higher in people who marry close relatives. So I personally think that applying nail polish is at best a cause of leukemia, not the main factor. You should pay attention to doing manicures as little as possible.

Yes. 1. Applying nail polish without cleaning the nails. There is a lot of dust and other things on the nails. If you apply it directly, it will form a layer of isolation, so the nail polish and nails are not very compatible, and it is easier to fall off when mixed with dust. So it is best to wash your hands before applying nail polish, and wipe your nails thoroughly with a wet wipe.

2. Nail polish that has been used for too long. Nail polish is almost done after one or two years of use. It is best not to use nail polish that has been used for a long time and has a little lumps. Not only is it difficult to apply evenly, but it is also more likely to fall off. Naturally, the durability is not good, so you should use up the nail polish you bought as soon as possible.

3. Use poor quality nail polish. The most obvious problem with poor quality nail polish is that it won’t last long. The edges and corners will fall off soon after it is applied. Even if you have some tips on applying nail polish, it will be useless for this kind of low-quality nail polish. So don’t be greedy for cheapness when buying it. It’s better to buy a durable one.

4. Apply only one layer of nail polish. Many people only apply a thin layer of nail polish because they are afraid of trouble. One layer of nail polish is very easy to fall off. Compared with applying two or three layers, one layer of nail polish is more fragile. So when applying nail polish, it is best to apply one layer first, and then apply the second layer, so that the color will look better.

It is easy to make the nail color yellow. It is a woman's nature to love beauty. Some beauties like to paint their nails to make their hands more beautiful. However, everyone should know that applying nail polish has certain hazards: First, applying nail polish can easily make the nail color yellow and dull, easily make the nails brittle, grow slowly, easily corrode the nails, cause the nails and nail beds to separate, easily make the finger edges dry, inflamed, have hangnails, and even cause paronychia. Second, nail polish has some toxic ingredients, such as acetone and ethyl acetate. If you smell the smell of nail polish more, it is easy to produce strong stimulation to the nasal mucosa nervous system, causing headaches and dizziness. Third, nail polish contains toluene, phenol, acetone, and ethyl acetate. Long-term contact with these ingredients may cause cancer, so it is not recommended to apply more nail polish. If you must apply nail polish, pay attention to choosing high-quality nail polish and reduce the use of quick-drying oil. In addition, apply nail polish in a ventilated place to avoid inhaling too much benzene and phenolic substances to reduce irritation.

The chemical components of nail polish are harmful to health. Acetone and ethyl acetate are highly volatile and dangerous chemicals. They are flammable and explosive, and they produce a dizzying irritating odor when they evaporate. The formaldehyde component pollutes the indoor air. If children inhale it for a long time, it will harm the nervous system and have strong irritation to the mucous membranes. The main component of nail polish is nitrocellulose, which is made with chemical solvents such as acetone, ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate, and tincture of phthalic acid. However, these chemical raw materials have certain biological toxicity and can easily cause chronic poisoning when they enter the human body. After children apply nail polish, they like to eat their fingers and easily swallow nail polish, or they like to hold food with their hands and stick nail polish on the food, especially when they grab oily foods such as fried dough sticks and cakes that contain a lot of oil. The fat-soluble compounds contained in nail polish are easily dissolved in the oil.
