I wonder how much lead a solder sucker aerosolizes.

  It doesn’t.

    The fine coating of solder dust on my workbench suggests that you are wrong.

      How do you know the dust is solder? How is the solder getting out of the sucker? Let alone turning into a fine powder? How much desoldering are you doing?? There are far more likely sources of particulate matter, such as flux which we know does get aerosolized.
