Laser printers -- silent but deadly

Workplace dangers are no joke, but hearing that one of the worst may be your friendly laser printer is quite surprising. Last July, the Queensland University of Technology released a study saying that office printers produce ultra-fine particle clouds that are comparable to cigarette smoke and vehicle emissions. HP, which manufactured some of the highest emitters in the study, strongly disagreed, of course. Since then, no immediate health risks have been proven, so print at your own risk.
