Post topic: Printers May Be Dangerous to Your Health		  
A newly released research study shows that some brands of printers may actually be dangerous to workers' health, especially those who sit near the printer. About 29 percent of the printers tested generated particulate matter into the air (mostly toner). If workers breathe this stuff in, they could end up with respiratory diseases.

Wow, you would think that in the age when everything including babies toys like the recent problems with mattell and all the toys coming out of China that something like printers being that they are found in almost every home would have been safeguarded better than that.
