It seems that office workers face a new health threat after the RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) and this new threat comes from office laser printers that emit during operation large amounts of microscopic particles into the surrounding air.

  According to an Australian research team led by Professor Lidia Morawska from the Queensland University of Technology, the potential negative effects range from a simple respiratory irritation and up to cardiovascular system affections and even cancer.

  The news site ABC cited Professor Morawska in her quality as the director of the International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health when she said that the particles emitted by laser printers can reach the human lungs and even enter the bloodstream.
