In addition to powering jackhammers used for digging gold-bearing rocks from mining shafts on sites located at depths that pose risks due to potentially hazardous gas composition or lack thereof, air compressors also play a crucial role. They supply compressed air which is essential not only in operating the necessary equipment but more importantly they ensure miners can breathe safely while working deep within these mines where other gases may hinder their ability to do so and cause potential respiratory problems if inhaled without proper ventilation systems implemented for such conditions.
