Dangers of compressed air (1)
A common misconception is that it is always safe to ‘blow off ‘ with compressed air. However!
Air pressured at just 12 pounds per square inch (psi) can force an eye from its socket.
Compressed air accidentally blown into the mouth can rupture the lungs, stomach or intestines.
Air can enter the navel, even through a layer of clothing, and inflate and rupture the intestines.
Air can also enter the bloodstream, and death is possible if it makes its way to blood vessels in the brain.
Dangers of compressed air (2)
Blowing dust and dirt off clothes and the body is should not be permitted under any circumstances.
Direct contact with compressed air can lead to serious medical conditions and even death.
Even safety nozzles which regulate pressure to 30 psi can not be safely used to clean the human body.
As little as 12 pounds of pressure can blow an eye out of its socket.
If an air pocket reaches the heart, it causes symptoms similar to a heart attack. Upon reaching the brain, pockets of air may lead to a stroke.
