Is Inhaling Solder Fumes Dangerous Toxic
Yes, Solder fumes dangerous toxic. Because solder fumes contain many chemicals, Which can cause symptoms of human respiratory systems, Nervous systems, and immune systems.
Respiratory system: Solder fumes It has certain irritation, It will causes irritating cough, sore throat, pneumonia, bronchitis symptoms.
nervous system: Solder fumes contains more lead substances, It will causes poisoning reactions, such as dizziness, fuzzy consciousness, vomiting, headache, etc.
Immune system: For those who are allergic to solder fumes, It will causes shortage of breathing, chest tightness, rash, eczema and other allergic reactions.
How Does A Soldering Fume Extractor Work
Solder fume extractor works through the internal motor,which drives the turbine fan to rotate thus generating vacuum pressure,the unfiltered toxic fumes gas generated in the process of soldering, through the fume extractor hood and fume extractor pipe into the interior of the fume extractor.
And then through the primary filter cotton, medium-effect filter core, Hepa high-efficiency activated carbon integrated filter three-stage filtration system, so as to filter the solder fumes in a variety of fine particles and toxic and harmful gases, and finally the purified healthy and clean air directly out.
Solder fume extractors effectively filter smoke up to 99.97% more.
Can Solder Fumes Cause Cancer
Solder fumes do not directly cause cancer, but when tin-lead alloy and solder resist are heated during the soldering process, they will emit toxic fumes and gases, which are harmful to human respiratory system, nervous system and immune system, and long-term exposure will definitely cause many occupational diseases, thus indirectly creating the possibility of cancer.
Therefore, in order to prevent the possibility of cancer caused by various occupational diseases in a long-term soldering environment, it is necessary to take various effective measures to minimize the inhalation of solder fumes.
Do You Need A Fume Extractor For Soldering
Solder fumes have a high health impact,In the following four cases,you need a fume extractor for soldering.
1、Long time in the soldering work environment
2、In an environment with poor indoor air circulation
3、People who are allergic to the irritation of solder fumes
4、People with eye diseases and respiratory diseases
