Now are you seriously trying to tell me there are NO traces of lead in
the
flux fumes? Are you certain about that?


I think you should ask Nick about that

From what I hear he just looks at solder and it runs

No doubt because of the heat

LOL.

In all seriousness though there must be an element of lead in the fumes no
matter what the supposed vaporisation level of the solder is. As in much the
same way as harmful levels of lead were found in water running through lead
pipes. These pipes weren't at vaporisation temperature to pass small amounts
into the water running through it. Likewise the flux core in the lead solder
would 'surely' have a concentration of lead in it no matter how
insignificant an amount it might be.
