Explanation

Toner is an extremely fine powder used in laser printers and copiers. Standard vacuum cleaners lack the fine filtration needed to capture toner particles, which can pass through regular filters and be expelled back into the air, creating a health hazard. More critically, toner particles are combustible and can be ignited by electrostatic discharge (ESD) generated by a standard vacuum. An ESD-safe vacuum is specially designed to eliminate static buildup and uses fine HEPA-grade filtration to safely capture toner. Battery acid and ink are liquids requiring different cleanup methods, and filament (used in 3D printing) is a solid plastic that poses no ESD or combustion risk during vacuuming.
