These substances play out during fixing and heating, and will be directly absorbed by the human body through breathing, endangering the health of operators. Working in the environment of using this toner printer for a long time will cause harm to human body, and the probability of cancer will be four times higher than that of normal people. At the same time, it will pollute the selenium drum and magnetic roller, resulting in poor printing.
2. Adding toner by yourself will destroy the sealing performance of the toner cartridge and cause powder leakage. Usually, the particles of toner are measured in microns. If they are scattered in the air, they are invisible, thus causing air pollution in the use environment and office environment, leading to an increase in PM2.5, which is harmful to human health.

4. Toner is insoluble in water, so it is difficult to discharge, thus the probability of inducing diseases such as kidney calculi is three times higher than that of normal people. After the surface modifier polyethylene/polypropylene paraffin is inhaled into the body, its small molecular particles will be absorbed into the blood circulation system and finally deposited in the kidney.

In addition, carbon powder also contains common carcinogens, such as benzene, aldehyde and styrene. Color printing toner is more toxic, such as tributyltin, which can endanger the secretion of human hormones in a few parts per million, leading to a decrease in the number of male sperm and infertility in women.
