Serious question: what happens to air quality while I’m soldering all of those components? I have always wondered how toxic solder and flux fumes are.

Serious question: what happens to air quality while I’m soldering all of those components? I have always wondered how toxic solder and flux fumes are.
- cinntaile 6y agoBreathing in fumes is never healthy. That's why you have filters that suck the solder fumes away.
- ahaucnx 6y agoWhen I solder, PM2.5 goes into very unhealthy territory. There are solder smoke absorbers with carbon filters that I would recommend to use.
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoAny solder smoke absorber recommendations? I’ve never heard of those.
- jfim 6y agoI bought the Aven 17701 recently, it seems to do the job. It's just a fan with an activated carbon filter.
- sizzle 6y agoYeah just do it outside if possible with a makeshift work bench
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoThat's fine this time of year but not in winter.
