Laser Printer indoor Air pollution

I worked in an office for 3 plus years now and much of the time I have worked near one of the worst pollution emitting laser printers in the world, THE HP color laserjet 5550 dn.

I just found this out yesterday when a group of Australian Scientists released the results of their study. I will post the study below, but suffice it to say that if you sit near one of these large laser printers you might as well be sitting next to a smoker all day.

Needless to say I was devasted yesterday when I found this out. Makes me realize why my pft's dropped 5-10 percent in the first couple years that I worked here. I just had know idea I was doing this to myself.

If you work near one of these printers (you can find out which ones are the worst on one of these websites) I suggest you get away fast.

I really think this is a serious issue and the government really needs to look into regulating office/indoor pollution.

Oh man! I'm so sorry (and angry for you!). I saw this on the news, and thought to myself that maybe I will just keep my old inkjet printer! That is utterly ridiculous!

Oh, btw, I can't get the first 2 links to work?
