When the copier is running, it will produce high voltage discharge. The energy released by high-voltage discharge can transform oxygen in the air into a foul-smelling gas-ozone.

Ozone and oxygen are allotropes with completely different chemical properties. Oxygen is a non-toxic, odorless and breathable gas.

However, ozone is not only pungent, but also toxic. When the content in the air is small, it will generally not cause harm to people, on the contrary, it can kill bacteria in the air for us.

But when its content in the air is high, it will seriously endanger people's health. It will also combine oxygen and nitrogen in the air to produce toxic and irritating nitrogen oxides.

Not only does the copier produce ozone when it works, but some machines also produce high-voltage discharge and ozone during operation.

How to prevent the printer from hurting us?

First, make sure that the copier is placed in a well-ventilated room, and the copying area should be separated from other work areas.

Second, clean the copier regularly and carefully remove the waste ink cartridges. Operators should wear dust masks to prevent toxic substances in cheap toner and copy paper from flooding the air and being inhaled by the human body.

Third, in the process of copying, be sure to cover the baffle above, and don't open the baffle to copy in order to save trouble and reduce the irritation of strong light to the eyes. ?

Finally, remind the staff who deal with the copier every day to wash their hands in time after each use of the copier to eliminate the harm of residual dust on their hands and toxic substances on the copy paper.

People's Network-Printers can also poison people.
