brother laser printer

Do you think Brother laser printers make fewer carcinogenic emissions than those tested in a recent study?

A recent Australian study showed that some HP laserjet printers, though not all models, emit high levels of carcinogenic particles, worse than cigarettes – and also Toshiba and other makes. I suppose Brother laser printers have a different toner technology because they have replaceable drums as well as cartridges, so perhaps they are safer to be around than those that tested high. Is there any contributor with technical knowledge to comment on that? (Particularly Brother HL-1450, because I’m sitting right next to one!)
Other printers in the test included Canon and Ricoh. HPLaserjet 4050 series were mentioned as having no such emissions, although the 4250 do.

If you read more than one “OMG we’re all going to DIE” article about the so called problem you will find out that it isn’t that big a deal. Yes, a poorly maintained printer or one which has had toner spilled in it may release carbon dust to the air. The brand doesn’t have a lot to do with it. A relative handful out of millions of printers were tested. And yes, we are all going to die (eventually, life is 100% fatal ).
