What's the story on solder these days?
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.

yes, that would be called leaching, and lead does not leach into the air. it
would also be due to water 'erosion' of the solder. it IS rather soft..
yes, I am serious. no lead in the solder fumes.
if there was lead in the solder fumes, then most every ham end electronic
tinkerer would have serious health problems.
Ahhhhhhh
That explains it

Confirms the ramblings of MattD
Where is he by the way
Someone hasn't filled is boots with lead and heaved him overboard I hope
Unlike Nick he will be missed
