Scientists Research Effects Of Laser Printers On Air Quality

摘要

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Wilhelm Klauditz Institute WKI in Braunschweig, Germany in collaboration with colleagues from Queensland University of Technology QUT in Brisbane, Australia, recently concluded that the ultra-fine particles laser printers emit are not toner dust but volatile substances such as paraffins and silicon oils. "One essential property of these ultra-fine particles is their volatility, which indicates that we are not looking at toner dust," says Prof. Dr. Tunga Salthammer. head of the Material Analysis and Indoor Chemistry Department at WKI.
