TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The oder you smell is ammonia (as in house hold ammonia bleach). As
far as its toxicity, it is. Will it harm you at the level present when
you are looking at the prints, I don't know. The people that make
these prints work at these jobs for years and show no evidence of
physical harm. What I learned at one of the places I worked is that if
you can smell it, it's killing brain cells. So, how many extra brain
cells do you have that you can afford to kill? It's just like anything
taken in excess (even drinking water), its bad for you.

odor makes me wonder how toxic the outgases are that I'm inhaling -- anyone
know?
