That office stalwart the printer may be a source of air pollution and a potential health hazard, a CBC investigations team has found. Laser printers emit micro-particles that can affect air quality, researchers say. Laser printers emit micro-particles that can affect air quality, researchers say. (CBC) Office printers can release ultrafine particles, or UFP, that are so small scientists have only recently been able to measure them.
"The study shows an ongoing threat to human health from airborne particles," said Jonathan Samet, senior author of the study and chair of the Bloomberg School of Public Health department of epidemiology, in a release.
The Australian study identified a number of Hewlett Packard (HP) printers as high emitters, something the company disputes.
