"SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco nail salons that replace nail polish containing toxic chemicals with safer alternatives will be recognized by the city if the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approves the program in a vote next week.

The ordinance creating a Nail Salon Recognition Program is intended to encourage local salons to protect the health of customers and workers.

San Francisco Board of Supervisor President David Chiu introduced the ordinance in July and it was approved by the Board of Supervisors' Public Safety Committee last week."
