    Sooo a study from the 1970's eh? Had to go back that far? I believe they use to tell us back in the 70's that the earth was warming up as well and we should all worry about it. I wonder how that panned out?

      I have a lot of that black shit in my lungs,thank God its not color,I dont need colorful lungs.

      remember emptying out your 3M vac filter because your company was too cheap to buy filters??

            It seems it also to have serious effects on one's copy and paste capabilities.......

                I used to work in a steel plant that used liquid graphite as lube. Large warning label on barrels saying not to come in contact with skin. I used to crawl inside the lube tanks with that stuff at about 125 degrees and it be up to my waste. When it dried, you cleaned stuff with a pneumatic rotating brush, creating large black clouds of dust. For 13 years I came home looking like a coal miner. The toner I breath is nothing. With all the graphite in my lungs, I should be the first to drop from breathing toner. If it happens I will have someone post it so the rest of you can get your class action law suits ready.

                  And here I was thinking it is all the cigarettes I smoke during the day. Thank GOD (yes, I was just reading M4U post regarding religion, pun intended) I have nothing to worry about there. May have to quit my job if this toner dust keeps affecting my ability to smoke.
