Photo copier fumes irritate my lungs and nasal passages as i suffer with rhinitis, n chemical sensitivies, is there any protective devices available ?

Photocopiers: Since there are several emission dangers learn the basics of vocs and ozone first through the epa and get help that way. Was the room tested. All copiers are not the same, all toners are not the same. http://www.epa.gov/iaq/voc.html.

Yes, but: You can wear an n95 face mask in the photocopier area, but it would be better to a) make sure the room is properly vented to the outside, b) have the photocopier checked to see if there is a problem with it, and c) try a different toner type.
