Air circulation is key, h/e summertime prohibits opening a window for good air, as it is bad air during August and September. I use a fan to circulate air and it doesn't help during those months.

That's the kind of company HP has always been, down to Earth and aware of their responsibilities to their customers. I can't say that I have heard anything negative about Canon or Xerox either and those are the three big players in laserjet technology. HP takes health and safety very seriously and they have found that laserjet printers are safe to operate. I believe we should trust the experts on this issue, especially the experts that learned under the tutelage of Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard... they just wouldn't put people in danger and then lie about it. FUD

If you had a machine spewing talcum powder in to the air at the same rate as your laser printer spews toner it would be equally unhealthy. The bigger risk is actually the ozone that photoelectric print systems put off. Gives people headaches and makes them feel generally crappy.
