I thought that laser toner was dangerous chemically since they are collected
and disposed separately. i investigated and found that this was not the case
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toner
The only health risk associated with it is due to its ability to generate
static electricity. Putting it in
same as any fine dust, rub it against itself. one of those bagless vacuums
would work perfect. i created 3 inch sparks to my legs with one of those
just using reglular house dust from the static buildup.

Isn't laser toner specifically chosen for having high or well known static
characteristics? What is he ability to have static electricity? Has it
anything to do about paraelectricity?

There is concern about toner dust.
It is extremely fine and can lodge deep in the lungs.

yes. the laser on the paper causes static, the toner than sticks to that
static, so that toner only sticks to areas where the laser has excited. the
heater element then mlets the toner to the page. the large amount of static
generated is one of the reasons a laser printer running overtime
A friend of mine said the same thing but I wonder if the real hazard might
be electrical. Do you know how these health investigations were performed?
Dust has been available to humans for millennia without problem so I doubt
that this is the real hazard. It could be the end hazard (ontologically)
Per the Nick Palmer experiments, I wonder if toner carts get lighter when
you shake them up?
- R.
its not the toners that are collected, its the toner containers. thats
becuase they have valuable parts, like the drum, inside them, and it costs
about a buck to refill it with toner as opposed to manufacturing a new one.
its a blend of plastic resins. not something i want in my lungs.
