Hi All
I assume it's not safe to breathe air from an oil lubricated air
compressor at sea level.
But does anyone know if it's safe to breathe compressed air from an
oil free compressor?
Thanks for your input.


No it is not safe.


ANY oil will be atomized and will be deposited in your lungs.


Very bad.


Stick with oilless and filter the air before breathing it.

What sort of filter do you suggest?
Thanks
