AB  - We need a new investigation of the effect of not only toner but also of its 
      by-products on human health, because of the generation of fine particles and the 
      release of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the process of photocopy. 
      Therefore, we gathered epidemiological and animal data on toner and its 
      by-products, and examined the occupational health management of toner. We 
      examined the effect of carbonblack as the main component of toner, and titanium 
      dioxide and amorphous silica as surface-adhesive nanomaterials, and VOC on human 
      health, and reviewed them. We summarize the results as follows. 1) High sensitive 
      c-reactive protein in serum, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in urine, and heart rate 
      variability (HRV) are useful for biological monitoring of exposure to toner and 
      its by-products. 2) Particle number concentrations have been often measured by 
      scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) compared with other apparatus, although 
      this is not measurement gold standard. Taken together, we have examined whole 
      occupational health management of toner and its by-products.
