Soldering Dangerous Fumes at Christopher Proffitt blog

Soldering Dangerous Fumes. Toxic solder fumes are a serious health hazard for people who work or engage in soldering in the electronics industry. Therefore, it is imperative that anyone working with solder take proper protective measures. These fumes, often dismissed as just a whiff of smoke, carry a more sinister payload. Flux generates the visible fumes seen during soldering. As a result, the consensus is that solder fumes represent a serious occupational health hazard, and workers should be protected from these effects through proper ventilation, fume capture, and personal protective equipment (ppe). In the realm of soldering, the immediate effects of inhaling solder fumes on one’s health are a matter of substantial concern. Exposure to rosin can cause eye, throat and lung irritation, nose bleeds and headaches. The toxic fumes can lead to respiratory illness, cancer and other health problems. However, solder fumes contain heavy metals which are toxic to humans. Depending on the metals used during the soldering process, most solder fumes can be toxic and an occupational health hazard to anyone who. If you are soldering electronics, chances are you are using rosin/colophony flux (separately or as an ingredient of the solder).
