Did you know that the most common reason for Carbon Monoxide contamination is the compressor’s intake air?

While your compressor does have filters designed to remove contaminants, including CO, these filters must be used properly and changed regularly to remain effective. You can reduce this risk by ensuring your compressor’s intake is in a well-ventilated area and away from potential sources of Carbon Monoxide.
Fire departments and scuba shops are particularly aware of the dangers that CO presents.

Not only because strenuous activity will cause a person to take in larger amounts of contaminated air but also because of the symptoms caused by CO such as disorientation and loss of consciousness in the already dangerous situations faced by firefighters and divers.

Carbon Monoxide is dangerous because it competes with oxygen for binding sites in hemoglobin cells found in your blood. In high enough concentrations it can kill in less than an hour. While the effects of exposure to lower levels of Carbon Monoxide are not quite well understood, it is believed that long term exposure can cause serious, sometimes permanent damage to both the brain and heart.

Carbon Monoxide in breathing air is dangerous, but it can be avoided by being proactive in having a CO monitor installed, regular maintenance of your compressor and by being aware of the air your compressor is taking in. By staying ahead of these problems, you can avoid the ramifications that comes with an out-of-specification air sample and, more importantly, the potentially tragic consequences of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
