"This study suggests that the levels of biomarkers of oxidative stress and DNA damage among nail technicians seem to be dysregulated even despite the low level of occupational exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOC). Although the outcomes are not fully conclusive, association of observed changes with occupational exposure to airborne VOC cannot be ruled out."
