How Bad Are Soldering Fumes For You. There is very little risk of being exposed to lead if you accidentally inhale some of the fumes. Osha recommends employers to use ventilation or fume extraction systems at the source to restrict exposure to harmful soldering fumes. The fumes you see rising off the solder are not metal vapours, they are the fumes from the flux. Most common flux is contained. Lead poisoning is highly unlikely from just fumes, however your risk increases. It turns out that solder fumes can be toxic to humans and prolonged exposure to them can cause serious chronic health problems and make other chronic conditions worse. So why is this, and what can be done about it? If you are soldering electronics, chances are you are using rosin/colophony flux (separately or as an ingredient of the solder). Although not legally enforced, niosh sets a recommended exposure limit (rel) based on all scientific study data available for the substance. Some people can become sensitized to flux fumes, especially from the older rosin flux used. Solder fumes aren't very good for you.
