...small study, published in the Aug. 1 issue of Environmental Science and Technology, researchers found that nearly 30% of the 62 printers they tested - including laser printers from Canon, HP, Toshiba and Ricoh - emitted high levels of ultrafine toner particles, which were potentially as hazardous as cigarette smoke.

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 (tobacco smoke, cooking gas, vapors from paint). In general, concentrations of volatile organic compounds, like cleaning agents and pesticides, can sometimes be 10 times higher indoors than outdoors, says Weschler. With long-term exposure, these types of air pollutants can be linked to allergies and respiratory illness, or worse...

From his stark, smoke-filled studio, Snyder grilled such diverse subjects as Charles Manson and Spiro Agnew and tackled topics like male prostitution, censorship and suicide. Utterly authentic and at ease with viewers, the veteran journalist made a huge hit of Tomorrow, which followed Johnny Carson's Tonight Show--and in doing so laid...
