is soldering bad for your health?

The vast majority of solder, there are solder resist, these resist heat will evaporate harmful fumes and gases, reducing the quality of air around the bench, soldering iron solder is the largest source of smoke, they contain high concentrations of chemical resist, will produce dangerous toxic solder fumes and gases, and those who can see the smoke and particles are not the most harmful, those you can not see the smoke has more harmful.

If the air at the worker’s workplace contains a lot of soot, people working in this environment and the amount of soot into the lungs will be more, and when a certain amount is reached, it can cause fibrotic lesions in the lung tissue, making the lung tissue gradually harden and lose its normal respiratory function, and pneumoconiosis occurs.

Airborne soot and dust falling on machine parts will accelerate the wear and tear of rotating parts, reducing the precision and life of the machine, dust diffusion in the workshop will also reduce visibility, affecting vision, hindering operation, reducing labor productivity, and even cause accidents.

Solder fumes emissions into the atmosphere can cause atmospheric pollution, and many harmful gases, liquids, or certain metallic elements can be adsorbed on it and carried deep into the lungs or adhered to the walls of the bronchi with human breathing, causing or aggravating various diseases of the respiratory tube. In addition, soot dust in the air will also reduce the visibility of the atmosphere, prompting the formation of smoke, so that the transmission of solar radiation energy is affected, thus polluting the environment.
