The advisory issued because this chemical can adversely affect the health of persons exposed to it. Section 16 of Canada’s Food and Drug Act states that no cosmetic may cause injury to the health of the user. As a result, the sale and use of cosmetic nail preparations containing MMA was banned in Canada. 2016-05-17T16:40:21.055550+00:00https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/0b608d34-d475-44a5-b0a5-3c54e80ae8c1Best practices for the assessment and control of chemical hazards : best practices guidelines for occupational health and safety in the healthcare industry2024-02-12T18:16:18.392096+00:00Government of AlbertaBest practices for controlling exposure to chemical hazards in healthcare are reviewed.
