    Question Waste toner and toner related health issues. Toxicity etc

    Have a very simple question. Is toner toxic to humans/ engineers?
    Obviously user is not getting contaminated as much due to filtering and minimum of access to open containers.

    Engineers however have plenty of exposure. Do you change waste boxes or do you empty them?
    .OK Google! ... will I need Berrocca this morning?

    Are you kidding...my entire retirement plan is based around some kind of black lung disease from inhaling toner all these years...Can't wait to get into that class action lawsuit. If it's been a while since I was exposed, I will set it up line a line of coke and sniff it down....Emujo
    If you don't see your question answered in the forum, please don't think it's OK to PM me for a personal reply...I do not give out firmware and/or manuals.

    As seen on Fox news, "Printer technicians getting high off powdered ink" "Sources report toner junkies are lining it up and snorting rails to get high, #tonertoblame?".

    Contains bits of magnetized particles and pulverized plastic... Could be unsafe for ingestion? Probably as safe as breathing in sand long term, who knows, could be a new condition around the future called "toner lung""..

    label on toner says. "Contains hazardous ingredients.. Do not eat, breathe or ingested. You should be cautioned! - Made in China."

    They sell Chinese garlic in the grocery stores, but I steer clear of it. It may be fine, but I'm not willing to take the chance.
