Default Breathing air from a compressor

That just defies theory, observation, and experience.

You breathe more oil fog and vapor cooking dinner.


Yeah, but that's vegetable oil, not mineral oil with additives and who
knows what else.

I breath compressor air in a homemade hood. The hose to the hood has a
homemade inline filter made from two spin-on oil filter cans (threaded
endplates cut off, insides thrown away) duct-taped open ends together
with a North 9000 series charcoal filter cartridge (from a respirator)
inside it. Not much gets through that filter. It'll take pressure up
to about 15 psi, much more than I need.
