That being said, I think the impact of the lead may be tiny compared to the rosin fumes. The real issue is someone in a factory who may handle leaded solder ever single day. The accumulated exposure over a lifetime is a big deal
- dicknuckle 2y agoThere's something extremely wrong with that iron. I've had a Tenma soldering station to that once, caused by a bad thermocouple that was lying to the controller.
