This question may have been asked before but I searched through
the archives and I couldn't find anything.
Does anyone know of any studies that have been done on the
effects of solder fumes on humans? long or short term.
I am attempting to "quantify" the purchase of fume extraction
equipment.
What I am asking is:
What is harmful about solder fumes?
As far as I knew, as long as the temperatures stayed below
1000 degrees that lead will not become airborne.
Is there a government requirement (OHSA or WHMIS) that limits the
exposure to these fumes?
I have already purchased and installed the extraction equipment,
now I guess I am trying to justify why I purchased the equipment.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ryan Chase
