Printers are the most common office equipment. Almost every office has one, which is convenient to use with the function of fax machine. It is really shocking to say that printers are the health killers of office workers. For electrical appliances, people pay more attention to the radiation problem, but after years of improvement and requirements, the radiation problem has been within the international standards and has no harm. However, printers do have health risks, that is, toner particles emitted by the most commonly used laser printers. Compared with inkjet printers, laser printers print faster and will not be welcomed by office workers. However, research shows that the carbon powder discharged during printing may cause environmental pollution around the printer, and these tiny particles will accumulate in the lungs and even enter the blood circulation through breathing, which is harmful to the health.

The research of foreign institutions concerned about the office working environment shows that if the laser printer works for a long time, the surrounding particulate matter will increase to about 5 times, and the concentration of these particulate matter will change with the brand and use time of the printer. If you are exposed to this concentration of particulate matter for a long time, it will easily lead to discomfort such as cough, which will have a great impact on your health in the long run. However, due to the lack of accurate data and a large number of investigations, the agency only pointed out the hidden dangers of printers, and suggested that printers should be placed in ventilated rooms so that particles such as carbon powder can quickly spread outside. Workers are not advised to sit next to the printer to avoid inhaling too many particles.

For printers in general offices, with the development of paperless office and office software communication software, the current frequency of use is not very high, and there will be few cases of continuous use. Therefore, it is difficult for foreign research institutions to realize the continuous use of printers. Sometimes it may be necessary to print training and learning materials or engineering projects. If this is the case, please put the printer in a ventilated place to prevent particles such as toner from spreading around the printer and affecting the health of people around.

In fact, for the health hazards of printers, don't smell it, don't ignore it, or plan ahead. If you have nothing to do at home, you will feel uncomfortable and cough when you get to the office. You need to see if it's the ghost of the printer. If you get too close, you need to adjust your position. You'd better put it in a ventilated place. However, when replacing the selenium drum, it is easy to pollute the office environment, or the seal is not good, which is unbearable for people who pay attention to health. Generally, it is more secure to choose the original factory to replace the selenium drum. If you really care, change to an inkjet one. It's cheap and easy to use. For example, the assistant lady in our office, after knowing that the laser printer may emit pollution particles, which is harmful to her health, never waits beside her when printing, but always stands far away, waiting to get it back after printing.
