"The Hidden Risks of UV Nail Dryers on Hand DNA"
Recent research indicates that UV nail polish dryers, commonly used in beauty salons to cure gel manicures, may cause DNA damage and mutations in human cells, which could potentially lead to cancer. The study found that exposure to the UV light from these devices resulted in significant cell death and DNA damage that was not always repaired, raising concerns about the safety of their frequent use. While the study does not directly prove an increased cancer risk, it suggests the need for long-term epidemiological studies to fully assess the potential health implications. The findings are published in Nature Communications.
