Your Printer Needs the Patch

I’m sure after a nite of beers and mexican food I emit more dangerous microparticles than a laser printer. Even with that disclosure, Australian scientists still chose to study laser printers and their death dealing air pollution instead of my eating habits, comparing the health effects of laser printers to cigarettes.

According to the study:

“The health effects from inhaling ultra-fine particles depend on particle composition, but the results can range from respiratory irritation to more severe illness such as cardiovascular problems or cancer.”

Arrrgghhhhh. Everyone immediately retreat under your desks and inhale bottled oxygen only.
