Your Office - Just when you thought it was safe to be in your comfortable little office, a recent study showed that some laser printers emit a high amount of toner particles that can get deep into the lungs causing respiratory problems. The International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health tested 62 relatively new laser printers and 17 of them were high emitters of toner particles. But here comes DAMAGE CONTROL from Hewlett-Packard:

Vigorous tests under standardized operating conditions are an integral part of HP’s research and development and its strict quality-control procedures. As part of these quality controls, HP assesses its LaserJet printing systems, original HP print cartridges and papers for dust release and possible material emissions to ensure compliance with applicable international health and safety requirements.

Sounds like a lot of jargon. The last time all these fancy statements were made was when cigarette companies said cigarettes were healthy and you should blow them in your baby’s face because they have vitamins and minerals.

I had a strange: childhood.
