In a follow-up study, the same researchers tested ten different nail polishes and found that eight of them contained this chemical. Moreover, two of the nail polishes that tested positive for triphenyl phosphate did not indicate on the label containing this chemical compound. This could mean that up to twenty percent of the nail polishes that are sale in the market contain a dangerous chemical that does not appear in its list of ingredients.
