Is Copier Toner Dangerous?
In modern copy machines, the toner cartridges and toner delivery systems are designed and intended to function in such a way that there is no human contact with the toner. The reality is, however, that the copy machine operators do come into contact with toner. Cartridges malfunction, components in the machine break exposing toner to the environment, and there can be unfused toner on paper pulled from the machine when clearing a paper jam. These are ordinary ways that a copy machine operator can be exposed to toner.
