What does printer toner ink do to your body if you sit next to the machine all day?

If anything I would have some concern about the Ozone emitted by the printer. If it has a toner, not a cartridge, then it's a laser printer. Lasers have a high voltage power supply to attract the carbon particles. This high voltage produces Ozone. I can smell it after entering the enclosed room where the printer is. Is this harmful? I don't know.





Taken from Wikipedia, Laser Printers:


';Ozone hazards


As a natural part of the printing process, the high voltages inside the printer can produce a corona discharge that generates a small amount of ionized oxygen and nitrogen, forming ozone and nitrogen oxides. In larger commercial printers and copiers, a carbon filter in the air exhaust stream breaks down these oxides to prevent pollution of the office environment.





However, some ozone escapes the filtering process in commercial printers, and ozone filters are not used in many smaller consumer printers. When a laser printer or copier is operated for a long period of time in a small, poorly ventilated space, these gases can build up to levels at which the odor of ozone or irritation may be noticed. A potential for creating a health hazard is theoretically possible in extreme cases.[citation needed]';What does printer toner ink do to your body if you sit next to the machine all day?
Lol nothing I'm sure.





Breathing in toner probably isn't good for you but I'd say more harm is done from the polution of jets flying overhead
Solutions:





Breathing from Toner, can affect your lung. if the room is polluted of toner ink?.

Nothing. If it did I would have been dead a long time ago.
