Solder properties? Irons?

The propaganda that lead can be absorbed thru skin pores while being
handled was debunked many years ago. As was the more recent bunkum
that lead heated to 800 degrees created a vapourized lead that could
be inhaled.

Ya gotta eat it to get into ya.

I'm sure the CDC and EPA will be glad to have these nuggets of wisdom. Did
you think this up all on your own?

What you DON'T know about lead poisoning is monumental. You are as
misinformed and wrong as you typically are about most things you post here.

Take Will Roger's advice : " Never miss a good chance to shut up."

So then, oh wise and learned one: explain how stained glass workers
get lead poisoning - other by ingesting it.

Pure Pb is toxic, but Pb* (Lead Oxide) is much more so.

You can figure it out from there, Einstein.

Moonraker is correct.

You can get lead in your bloodstream by breathing in the fumes. The air and
fumes go into your lungs and from your lungs go into your blood.

You can get lead on your skin - and then if you smoke - some gets in your
mouth and on it goes to the blood.

Also if you handle lead and get it on your hands and do not wash them before
putting anything in your mouth (cigarette, food, drink a cup of coffee,
etc.) that is how lead gets in typically.

A good source for this would be the solder handling guidelines in the
electronics industry - they deal with similar problems as stained glass.

Lead additives in gasoline was proven to directly to contribute to high lead
content in city dweller's blood.

You do have to ingest lead - but breathing in lead particles in fumes from a
solder pot is possible and does happen.

Sorry.

Forgot to add - that if you put a hood above your soldering irons and solder
pots, you will reduce the possibility of inhaling significant lead
particulates in fumes.

Organic lead compounds, such as tetraethyl lead are readily absorbed
through the skin.

Didn't know that - thanks for the info. Worse than I thought.

Where do you get this stuff Dennis, comic books? Of course you get lead
poisoning via lead fumes. That's an undisputed fact. Do you actually do
much soldering without a fume mask? Are you old enough to remember auto
mechanics getting lead in the bloodstream via inhaling fumes pre lead free
gas? I had a mechanic friend who was afflicted twice, and had a hell of a
time getting it back to normal. I had an elevated lead level, and reduced
it to a normal range by wearing a fume mask.
