The vapor pressure of molten lead has got to be pretty low... and I expect the bioavailability of elemental lead isn't all that great in any event, compared to some of its salts. You're probably OK. :)
- jpdoctor 15y ago> The vapor pressure of molten lead has got to be pretty low If you go to the bottom of the Kaster link: Cast Number 12 was a whistle. The casting was in multiple parts, and I never figured out how to assemble it (I actually thought it was supposed to be a biplane. Probably the fumes again.) So you were supposed to assemble this thing and then stick it in your mouth. :O > You're probably OK. There are those who disagree with you. :)
- CamperBob 15y agoThere are those who disagree with you. :) Valid point, I don't think a good case can be made for putting a lead whistle in your mouth. But I wouldn't worry about the fumes. It's likely no worse than SnPb solder fumes, which don't contain any appreciable amount of lead.
