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].

Clean indoor air with real-time measurements, pollution avoidance, intelligent filtration systems, continuous documentation and evaluation of atmospheric memory

Healthy indoor air is not a luxury—it is essential. We spend up to 90% of our lives inside buildings, yet indoor air can be significantly more polluted than outdoor air. The good news: unlike ambient pollution, indoor air quality is largely within our control. Filtration, when combined with measurement and intelligent systems, offers one of the most effective levers for immediate improvement. Weiterlesen

The air we breathe indoors can be far more polluted than the air outside, yet it’s an issue that often goes unnoticed. The nano-Control, International Foundation and the Global Open Air Quality Standards (GO AQS) initiative are stepping up to address this critical challenge by announcing a new collaboration focused on the health risks posed […]

The non-profit nano-Control International Foundation advocates for strict regulations on indoor air quality and stricter control over the installation and operation of toner-based devices, such as laser printers and copiers. Achieving high standards in indoor air quality is essential to protect public health and minimize exposure to harmful pollutants.
