Dangers of standard canned air
Standard canned air poses many dangers, not the least of which is to children. Most people are surprised to learn that children as young as 8 have used canned air to give them a quick, and often deadly, high. The inhalation of canned air can cause many negative health effects such as brain damage, seizures, permanent impairment of vital organs, hearing loss and even death. Why keep such a dangerous product in the home as a temptation to curious children and teenagers when there is an inexpensive and even more effective solution?
Not only are there dangers for people who intentionally abuse it, but there are also hidden dangers for people using canned air in regular situations.
Canned air is not really air, it’s a mix of various gases. If canned air is used in a poorly ventilated area there is a possible danger of oxygen deficiency and even asphyxiation for anyone in the room. When canned air is held at an angle the liquefied gas can be released onto surfaces or into the air, creating a highly flammable environment in which open flames, and any kind of spark and even electrical switches can cause a flash fire. The liquid propellant in canned air is known to cause frostbite when skin is exposed for a long period of time, causing serious physical injuries. By contrast, the Canless Air System® O2 is simply air, toxin free, safe and a fraction of the price.
In the United States, most canned air uses chemicals known as hydroflourocarbons which are known to be GHGs (greenhouse gases).
Apart from injury by intentional misuse or accidental exposure, these chemicals pose a large threat to the environment. GHG chemicals emit harmful gases into the atmosphere, while the one-time-use containers end up in landfills. In an age of increased environmental awareness with a focus on reducing carbon footprints and improving recycling, why is using a destructive product considered acceptable? There is a true and viable alternative available today. Canless Air is the superior choice over canned air, free from environmentally damaging chemicals.
