3D printers may be producing emissions that are toxic to humans, with children under nine years old being at even greater risk.
Three studies presented at this week s Exposure and Risk Assessment of 3D Printing and Emerging Materials virtual event held by the Society for Risk Analysis are raising questions about the safety of 3D printing.
One of those studies - conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health - evaluated the potential toxicity of ABS emissions generated during 3D printing by examining human lung cells exposed via inhalation. The study revealed that the emitted particles cause moderate toxicity in human lung cells.
