Gel nail polish on sale in the U.S. banned in Europe
SUMMARY: Gel nail polish, popular in the U.S., contains a chemical called TPO, recently banned in Europe due to safety concerns. Studies link TPO to endocrine disruption, potentially causing fertility issues and conditions like endometriosis. While the U.S. has not banned TPO and gel polish remains widely available, some salons are moving away from harmful chemicals to protect clients and nail technicians, who may suffer respiratory and hormonal problems from long-term exposure. Experts suggest occasional use is low risk, but frequent use can have cumulative health effects. With Europe leading in regulation, the U.S. may soon follow in seeking safer alternatives.
The European Union has banned a common ingredient in gel nail polish, citing serious health risks. While the ban does not apply in the United States, dermatologists and salon owners say American consumers may want to take note.

Delray Beach leaders fight for rainbow street mural during Florida hearing in Orange County
SUMMARY: Delray Beach city leaders traveled nearly 200 miles to a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) hearing regarding the state’s request to remove a rainbow pride mural at Northeast Second Avenue and First Street. The mural commemorates the Pulse nightclub shooting anniversary and was painted in 2021. No final decision was made; the city must submit supporting documents by September 5. City attorney Howard DuBosar argued the mural is street art, not a traffic control device, and cited local control under “Home Rule.” FDOT emphasized safety and state standards. Governor DeSantis supports removal of such messages from crosswalks. The mural remains for now pending the decision.
