Laser toner dust. Harmful?

i work at cartridge world, and i fill laser cartridges. is it harmful for me to be filling these cartridges and breathing in the toner dust WITHOUT an exhaust fan?Laser toner dust. Harmful?
YES! You may end up with the same disease that people who work in steel foundries or work for asbestos removal companies get -- emphasema, mesothelioma (cancer), lung cancer, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc. you won't get it next year, but in 20 years from now, you could be completely disabled, rolling around in a wheelchair carrying an oxygen bottle.





Turn the fan on AND wear a facemask (like doctors wear).Laser toner dust. Harmful?
yes, it is. but depends how enclosed a space you are working in. if its a big open space, dont worry much. if its the size of a dorm room, you NEED a fan. you can contract cancer, lung cancer, and all sorts of problems. *possiblity, no garuntees.* anyway, use protection whenever.
