    International Foundation Raises Alarm Over Health Risks of Toner-Based Printing. (forever chemicals)
    The Nano-Control International Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to environmental and health safety, is sounding the alarm about the potential health risks associated with toner-based printing systems. Their latest concern focuses on the use of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as additives in printer toner, substances which are known for their persistence in the environment and human body.

    PFAS, often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their inability to break down naturally, are widely used in a variety of products, from non-stick cookware to waterproof clothing. However, their presence in laser printer toner has recently come under scrutiny. The foundation’s research indicates that these chemicals are not only used in the production of toner but may also be emitted into the air during the printing process.

    The foundation is urging regulatory bodies to enforce mandatory guidelines governing the use of PFAS in printing technology. The risks associated with PFAS exposure are well-documented, with studies linking these substances to a range of serious health issues, including cancer, liver damage, and reproductive problems.

    While many consumer products are being phased out of PFAS use, printing systems remain largely unchecked. Nano-Control International Foundation is pushing for stricter regulations to protect both the environment and public health from the potential dangers of these harmful substances in office equipment.

    The foundation’s call to action comes as public awareness of PFAS contamination continues to grow, with organizations and researchers around the world working to uncover the full extent of their harmful impact. By addressing the issue in toner-based printing, the foundation hopes to prevent future exposure to these toxic chemicals in both the workplace and home environments.
