Thread Name: Help: Computer printer ink Allergy?
Subject: RE: Help: Computer printer ink Alergy?
Curiously despite my earlier answer, I was in conversation with an occupational health manager the other day and he assured me that the release of pariculate toner especially in air-conditioned offices was often the cause of the sniffles. Apparently concentrations increase markedly if a printer or copier jams frequently, as opening and then slamming the front panel and paper drawers of the machine releases clouds of particulates into the air circulation.
