New York Allergist Available to Speak on Respiratory Health of Nail Salon Workers as Follow Up to Yesterday's NY Times Expose

As a follow up to the New York Times expose on the health and well-being of nail salon workers, Dr. Clifford Bassett of New York City is available to speak on their respiratory health.

A doctor in the New York Times piece was quoted as saying, "“They come in usually with breathing problems, some symptoms similar to an allergy, and also asthma symptoms — they cannot breathe,” he said during a break between patients this winter. “Judging from the symptoms with these women, it seems that they are either smokers, secondhand smokers or asthma patients, but they are none of the above. They work for nail salons.”
