What are the dangers of using compressed air?
First, the compressed air is extremely strong. Depending on their pressure, air can remove particles. These particles are dangerous because they can get into the eyes or damage the skin. Possible damage will depend on the size, weight, shape, composition, and velocity of the particles. Pressure applied to remove particles from machines and surfaces can quickly blow sawdust, herbs, chips, and metal particles into the eyes, ears or skin. Compressed air can enter the body where there is no skin and can be harmful. There have also been reports of hearing damage due to air pressure and sound. Air compressor
Compressed air itself
Second, air itself is also a serious danger. In rare cases, some of the air can enter the bloodstream through a cracked skin or hole in the body. The airway in the bloodstream is medically known as embolism, a dangerous medical condition in which a blood vessel is blocked, in this case the airways. Arterial embolism can cause coma, paralysis, or death, depending on its size, duration, and location. While air embolism is often associated with improper diving techniques, it is possible in compressed air due to high pressure. Although it seems impossible, the consequences of even a small amount of air or other blood gas can be fatal.
air purifiers
Third, the use of air purifiers pushes dirt and dust particles into the air, making these air pollutants dangerous to the airways. Unfortunately, antics have been the cause of some serious occupational injuries caused by individuals who are unaware of the dangers of compressed air or best practices.
