This showed up today per an Australian study of laser printers....

found to emit fine particles of toner dust similar to second hand smoke
hazard.

...so if you have to work near a model shown to produce high levels of
particle emissions it might be a good idea to relocate it.

Mine is a HP 5MP wich was not on the list although the 5M was as a low 
emitter
