It certainly makes sense: Not all of that stuff can stick to the paper, and if you've ever spilled toner you know there's no way it can be good for your lungs. Now a controlled study is confirming the information, saying that 30 percent of all laser printers tested emit dangerous particles described as "<A href="http://www.theage.com.au/news/technology/printers-pose-health-risks-study/2007/07/31/1185647880054.html">causing lasting damage on the scale of inhaled cigarette smoke</A>." These tiny particles lodge deep in the lungs and can lead to anything from lung irritation to full-on cancer.<BR /></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/36077"><A href="http://pubs.acs.org/cgi-bin/sample.cgi/esthag/asap/html/es063049z.html">The full study is available online now</A> (scroll down to Table 1, at the bottom, for the list of printers tested).
