Printer issue for health

-Ozone

High voltages can break the bond between molecules of oxygen in the air. Single oxygen atoms are very unstable and will immediately link to O2 to create ozone - O3. Ozone is unstable and will give up one of its molecules quite readily to organic material like human tissue. Unfortunately ozone does this rather too energetically, not only is it poisonous, it is also thought to damage genetic material and so to be carcinogenic.

-Toner materials

-The main ingredient in the toner is carbon black. This is:

•   Mildly toxic - though some impurities in toners may be carcinogenic. As       currently manufactured, carbon blacks contain extremely low levels of impurities and do not warrant concern regarding health effects;

•   a respiratory irritant

•   May cause eye irritation.
