...LaserJet 1320 and 4250 models, were classified as "high-level emitters." Emissions, researchers found, were printer-specific and fluctuated depending on the age of the toner cartridge and the amount of toner a document required. It was unclear exactly what mechanism dispersed the particles into the air, but researchers think it had to do with how laser-printer cartridges access and use dry toner or with the printer's mechanical abrasion, wear and age. It's likely that different printers emit particles in different ways...
...stronger assertions - and believes there is no link between printer emissions and a public health risk. The study's authors concede that more research is needed before they can make any recommendations about the public's printer-related behavior. This study, says Charles Weschler, a chemist and indoor air pollution expert at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, is "very much a first...
Though it may be premature to inaugurate the term "office lung," the new study highlights the fact that indoor air pollution can't be taken lightly. "It's important to appreciate that most of the air we breathe - whether in our homes, our cars or our offices - is indoors," says Weschler. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 90% of our time is spent indoors. According to Weschler, indoor pollution either seeps in from outside (such as particulate matter from car exhaust, ground-level ozone and noxious gases, like sulfur dioxide, which comes from fuel combustion and factories) or originates inside...
...Desert is in passing a requiem for Ravenna, the medieval city whose air, fields and water were poisoned by the toxic waste regurgitated by big factories there. But is essentially an experiment in color. This time, reality wasn't good enough for the neo-neo-realist. He painted the earth a sludgy gray, and found a sickly yellowish color for the canals, as if they had vomited on themselves. (He also gave Vitti red hair). It was all in aid of showing the already polluted city through the eyes of the schizophrenic wife and mother played by Vitti. "I have...
...Perhaps the most indicative example of his nuanced approach is that while Specter is routinely critical of Gonzales - even disparaging him to reporters aboard Air Force One last week - he refuses to ask Gonzales to resign. "I'm just not going to call on Gonzales to resign and I'm not going to call on the President to fire him," Specter said in an interview with TIME. "Those are their decisions. I don't want them telling me what to do about what I do and what I say, and I'm not going to do it to them...
