Abstract |
This review, which is a translation of report Arbete och hälsa 1990:23 (CIS 91-998), considers the substances which may occur in emissions from laser printers. Such printers generate ozone and other air contaminants (corona discharges, toner particles, vapours from toner particles, paper dust). They also emit heat capable of affecting the room temperature. The amount of ozone generated varies with printer size and frequency of use and concentrations around threshold limit value could arise when a printer is used heavily in a room with inadequate ventilation. Health risks could develop in a room with poor ventilation and a large printer could pose a health hazard in rooms with good ventilation. Summary in Swedish. |
