Fingernail polish contains a high percentage of solvents. If you use nail polish, apply it in a well-ventilated room.
Only patronize salons that are well-ventilated.
Nail polish remover is basically acetone, a solvent strong enough to dissolve furniture finish and some plastics. It evaporates quickly. Avoid fumes by only using in well-ventilated areas.
Hair Sprays
Use non-aerosol pump sprays or styling gels.
Shaving Cream
Use shaving soap and a lather brush instead of foam products in aerosol containers. Even aerosols that do not contain CFCs anymore, contain gases like butane that are both flammable and contribute to air pollution.
Thermometers
Use an electronic thermometer instead of one containing mercury.
