Respiratory syndrome due to photocopier and laser printer

I have suffered a devastating respiratory syndrome with chronic non-specific bronchial hyperreactivity and multiple chemical sensitivity. It was caused by the odours released by a photocopier and a laser printer at work. I would like to hear of other possible similar cases (slowly I am discovering some more) in order to have better chances of improving the medical and social outcomes that at present are very discouraging. Please leave message.
