Immigrant women in the US most often work as house cleaners and make up 71% of manicurists; an expert job-exposure tool rates both jobs as probably exposed to fragrance chemicals, and house cleaning also to cleaning-product ingredients such as alkylphenols and antimicrobials.
Weak evidence: Exposure ratings from job descriptions (WORC), not measurements.
