These micro-particles may come from cutting, folding or printing, and disperse into the ambient air. What&#8217;s more, the inks used in printing processes can emit<strong> volatile organic compounds (VOCs)<\/strong>, potentially harmful to employees&#8217; health. Prolonged inhalation of these substances can lead to respiratory disorders, irritation or allergies, and consequently impact productivity and increase absenteeism.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The challenges of office air quality<\/h3>\n\n<p>In office spaces, <strong>poor air quality<\/strong> due to the accumulation of dust and paper particles can cause discomfort, headaches and increased fatigue among employees.
