Subject: About copy machine

Question
Hi. I work for Fedex Kinko's, surrounding by copy machines. I am pregnant and expecting a healthy baby. I am wondering if copy machines in use have radiation emission which could harm the fetus. I appreciate your help. Annie

Answer
Annie,

I don't know much about the radiatin emission from copiers.  You could check the manufacturers web site.

There is zome ozone emitted by copiers and laser printers.  Make sure that the room has adequate ventilation, say 6 turn-overs per hour.
