Origin, effect and health relevance – focus on laser printer emissions

Aerosols – definition and origin in the air we breathe

Aerosols: complex mixtures of solid and/or liquid particles, finely dispersed in a gas – typically air

Formation in the ambient air – indoors and outdoors: both through natural processes (e.g. volcanic eruptions, pollen count, sea spray) and human activities such as industry, transport, laser printing, 3D printing and household processes.

Zusammenfassung

Liebe Stifter, Förderer und Paten, liebe Teammitglieder, Freunde und Leser!

In diesem Jahr haben wir einen Meilenstein erreicht. Anonymisierte Daten von 2.000 Betroffenen wurden von der University of Massachusetts wissenschaftlich ausgewertet und bestätigen die Berichte von inzwischen 4.000 Betroffenen. Es kommt zu entzündlichen und immunologischen Symptomen und Erkrankungen durch die Emissionen von Laserdruckern und -kopierern.

The non-profit foundation nano-Control, International Foundation calls for mandatory rules for the operation of toner-based printing systems „laser printers“ to sustainably improve indoor air quality.

The human right to breathe clean air also applies to the air we breathe indoors.

The voluntary nano-Control, International Foundation and its previous organization, the ITG citizens‘ initiative, have been working for almost 30 years on a vital issue: protecting the air we breathe indoors, because we need clean, healthy air to breathe. Breathing is living.
