Question from Gigi

We will be using an air compressor to install hardwood floors inside the home, using various pneumatic nail guns, staplers, and hammers in the process. The air compressor will be located in the room of installation or just outside the door. Are these items toxic or do they prove difficult for people with MCS? There are oiled and oil-less models, is one anymore or less toxic than the other? The manufacturers include DeWalt and Campbell-Hausfeld which are the ones we are looking at.

Debra’s Answer

I don’t think they are, but I haven’t ever used one in an installation. Readers? Any experience?
