Relevance for Reproductive Medicine and Pregnancy – Focus on Printer-Emitted Particles (PEPs)
Indoor Air Pollution – Overlooked Sources
Indoor air pollution is often underestimated, yet one of its most overlooked sources is the everyday laser printer. During operation, laser printers emit engineered nanoparticles—so-called printer-emitted particles, or PEPs—from nano-enabled toners. These emissions are not trivial. Studies show that in offices and even in homes, particle concentrations can reach levels comparable to those near heavily trafficked urban roads or cigarette smoke in enclosed spaces [1,2].
