Do SGIs products emit any chemicals?
Studies show that computer systems emit very small amounts of volatile organic compounds, ozone and particulate matter, particularly in the first few weeks of operation. These emissions originate from residual solvents, epoxies and plastic components that may be released with system heating. While unpleasant odors may be produced, the emissions themselves do not pose health risks. SGI performs a run-in test after assembly of a new system, in which functionality is verified, and this often serves to dissipate any such potential emissions.
