TLDR
In this article, a methodology for measuring the surface charge density on printed paper and the ion and charged particle emissions during operation of a high-emitting laser printer is described, and the emission rates of ultrafine particles, ions and charged particles may be quantified using a controlled experiment within a closed chamber.About:

Nanoparticle exposures from nano-enabled toner-based printing equipment and human health: state of science and future research needs
TL;DR: A methodical risk assessment based on “real world” exposures rather than on the toner particles alone needs to be performed to provide the much-needed data to establish regulatory guidelines protective of individuals exposed to TPE emissions at both the occupational and consumer level.
Exposure to particles from laser printers operating within office workplaces
Peter McGarry,Lidia Morawska,Congrong He,Rohan Jayaratne,Matthew G. Falk,Tran Ngoc Quang,Hao Wang +6 more
TL;DR: It is established that office workers are constantly exposed to nonprinter derived particle concentrations, with up to an order of magnitude difference in such exposure among offices, and it is proposed that such exposure be controlled along with exposure to printer derived particles.

Electrostatic fine particles emitted from laser printers as potential vectors for airborne transmission of COVID-19.
Shanshan He,Jie Han +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that particles emitted from laser printers present a potential risk factor for the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in offices and other indoor environments with high user occupancy.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution
C. Arden Pope,Richard T. Burnett,Michael J. Thun,Eugenia E. Calle,Daniel Krewski,Kazuhiko Ito,George D. Thurston +6 more
TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.

Respiratory effects are associated with the number of ultrafine particles.
TL;DR: The present study suggests that the size distribution of ambient particles helps to elucidate the properties of ambient aerosols responsible for health effects.

Particle emission characteristics of office printers.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated particle number and PM25 emissions from printers using the TSI SMPS, TSI CPC 3022 and TSI P-Trak and DustTrak.

Deposition of charged particles in the human airways
TL;DR: In this paper, the electrostatic charge carried by aerosol particles greatly enhances their deposition in the airways, which is due to image forces between wall and particle, and is not detectable below a charge number n 3 which depends on particle size but not on the volunteer.
