THIS letter is intended to be provocative. A volt (or ampere) is denoted V (or A): a millivolt (or milliampere) mV (or mA): a microvolt (or microampere) µV (or µA). A farad is known as F, a microfarad as µF (though misguided people write it mfd. or mF., which, if anything, should mean millifarad): a micromicrofarad (10−12 farad) is µµF. A millihenry is mH, a microhenry µH. A gram is g., a milligram is mg., but some (and not the least worthy) biochemists use a symbol which few others understand…

Respiratory exposure and potential dermal exposure to volatile organic compounds in nail salons : a pilot study
TLDR
Nail technicians are not at immediate health risk as the exposure in nail salons are well below recommended occupational exposure limits, and the dermal exposure showed strong significant correlations to the concordant chemical’s respiratory exposures.
