Question by linda: Are laser printers dangerous for your health?
I recently heard that office laser printers can emit toxic fumes and particles that can cause cancer and respiratory illnesses. This made me concerned because I sit right next to one (a Ricoh Aficio SP 5100 N model). How can I find out if this printer is among the most dangerous ones (the high emitters)?

Not really unless you plan on standing right next to it for a hundred years sucking in the toner particles all day. It does emit a low dosage of toner emissions in the air which are considered to be a carcinogen, but seriously it would be like fifth or sixth hand smoking. I’m a toner tech.
