Abstract
Indoor air quality is one of the significant issues. Nowadays, people spend more than 80 of their time in an indoor environment, so the quality of air can have influential effects on people`s health. Many pollution sources are known so far. One of the important is electronic devices and printers. Volatile organic compounds VOCs, particulate matters, ultra-fine particulate matters and ozone are emitted from these devices. A printer is made of several parts that the pollutant can be emitted from them. Generally, there are some effective parameters on emitting such as temperature of fusing, kind of printers and …. In this research, we focused on laser printers because this is one of the common printers in every environment such as home, school and … whereas they are the biggest group of pollutant printers. Real room and chamber measurement are two types to measuring the amount of pollutants. ISO 16000 is the acceptable standard for measuring in the chamber. Gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy GC/MS to detect the volatile organic compounds, particle size analyzer to detect and count the particulate matters, and ozone analyzer to identify the ozone, X ray flourscence to detect the inorganic compound were used.
