Gosh, do you think it may affect my health when I get old? Now toner is 
hazardous, that will probably lead to a tax on toner cartridges, any 
excuse for a new tax seems to work.

Seriously, there is some interesting information in that article, 
different particle sizes and melting points that probably explain some 
of the differences in toner selection for each model. Whenever I asked 
if I couldn't use the toner on hand in a different machine the answer 
has been no.

Refilling toner cartridges involves less spillage than I had with ink. I 
am not aware of any that finds it's way into my environment, you just 
have to be careful and neat. It is not a problem.
