The toxins are minute until the compressor pistons rings get worn (or
do not fit right from the beginning) and allow oil to enter the
cylinders. With the heat that's generated by compressing air, the oil
will partially burn and create carbon monoxide which coats the red
blood cells and prohibits the transfer of oxygen to those cells and
further to the other cells in the body.

Way big mistake..........! Please consult Charles Law

The existing heat is concentrated into a smaller volume,
raising the temperature, but this does not rise to ignition at 90 psi.
Perhaps you are thinking of scuba tank compressors at many 1000s of psi.
If what you say were true, then working with compressed air in a closed
shop would be even more hazardous, since the air is recycled over and
over through the compressor as it is exhausted into the room. But there
is no CO or oil vapor to be concerned with in those situations.

Mineral oil is not toxic in itself.

Now that depend on where you are breathing a contaminated gas mix that
includes Mineral Oil present. The term that MMC used is worth
researching: Partial Preasure.

You are breathing oil-contaminated air all the time, over a cooking
stove or around 2-cycle engines. No one thinks much of it,

Uhh. I do!

because it isn't a hazard.

Did I just bit on a troll?
This has got to be a troll.

If not........... for anyone wanting to breath compressed air please do
not belive anything posted here.

Charles's Law relates pressure and temperature. Not heat. Learn the
difference.

Dear Richard:

Please explain the relationship between pressure and heat and
temperature. I think temperature and heat might be similar. But how?
That is BTU = Degrees Fahrenheit. So what is missing?
We can get into a discussion about pressure-heat - volume when the sun
is up.

Ignorant Bob.
