I’m actually kind of surprised that this is news. I remember at a previous employer watching facilities get told off for hoovering out a printer that had suffered a toner spill as this would spread the carcinogenic particles throughout the office and that the clean up should actually be done with special equipment with filters (and presumably with a mask).

This said I know a lot of people with laser printers in their homes now and we were considering one ourselves, so it goes to show anything that gets coverage for something which is er technically known but not widely known is worth knowing.

You know a blog post has gone south when you start to sound like Donald Rumsfeld… :(
