| Question: Photocopier Emissions  |
- I am looking for a source who can provide me
with information on the photocopier emissions. Specifically, is it just the inks that are
used that produce the toxic fumes, or is is also the heating up of the plastic? |

This one day seminar will provide you with a clear understanding of the different types of indoor air pollutants, their impacts and ways to improve existing air quality problems.

There are over 200 different chemicals that can,
or are, being released from photocopiers and printers, they should always be well
ventelated. Most people worry about the ozone that is emmitted, in schools that is
part of the reason why all printers are in one place in the school that has special
ventelation. The heating of plastic releases many of the toxins. |
