Does the copier have an impact on health?
Of course, and it's quite harmful. Will produce radiation, radio waves, magnetic powder, all have an impact on the body. The traditional copier does great harm to the body, first of all, ozone. When the electrostatic copier is used, oxygen molecules (O2) in the surrounding air will be ionized to form atomic oxygen (O), which will combine with the surrounding oxygen molecules to form ozone (O3). Ozone is a strong oxidant with fishy smell, and its specific gravity is 1.66 times that of air. It often gathers in the lower space of the office and belongs to the silent killer! Ozone strongly stimulates human respiratory tract, causing sore throat, chest tightness and cough, bronchitis and emphysema; Ozone can cause people's neurotoxicity, dizziness, headache, vision loss and memory loss; Ozone can destroy vitamin E in human skin, leading to wrinkles and dark spots on human skin. Ozone can also destroy the immune function of human body, induce lymphocyte chromosome lesions, accelerate aging, and make pregnant women give birth to deformed children. Although high-frequency and high-voltage electrical equipment will produce ozone to varying degrees, the charging potential of electrostatic copier is as high as several thousand volts, and it is a common equipment with high utilization rate, so the amount of ozone produced is very large, and sometimes the content in the air can reach several thousand ppm, far exceeding the allowable content in the air. Secondly, in the process of using the copier, in addition to ozone harmful to human health, some toner of the copier will escape at high temperature and high speed, producing a certain amount of dust. The organic waste gas generated by heating the toner is a strong carcinogen, which will cause various cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Due to the use of polymer materials for development and fixing, a small amount of harmful organic gases (such as styrene) will be produced, which is also harmful to human body. These harmful substances inhaled by people will remain in the human body forever and cannot be ruled out. Long-term exposure can cause nervous system symptoms such as xerostomia, chest tightness, cough, bronchitis, toxic pulmonary edema, headache, dizziness and nausea. Therefore, people must attach great importance to the harm caused by ozone and organic waste gas.
