laser printers and health?

Question

is it true that laser printers can be bad for your health. Can putting a plant near the printer help with the affects. What can I do, the only place I can put it is right near my bed.

Answer 1

Photocopiers and laser printers use toner as part of the printing process. The toner is an extremely fine powder, which in itself is not classed as a substance hazardous to health, but any dust in substantial concentration is, as it may cause respiratory tract irritation resulting in coughing and sneezing.
