First saturnism is not contacting...

Second you are going to have lead poisoning if you eat or drink lead....

Third Ventilation is important to asthma!

Forth There is probably so much lead in the atmosphere you will need to solder about 20 years at extreme temps constantly to get these levels...

Fifth I do believe human is becoming more resistant... Lead is known since 6500BC!!!

Sixth Soldering nano components doesn't mean soldering for a time...

Seventh Don't scare people DUDE!!!

If I'd do soldering for a living, I'd think of using only lead free solder.

As my father used to say: just gently blow the fumes away.

And of course, keep an open window.

Does 60/40 Tin/Lead solder conduct electricity well? sorry, i'm really new to this.

When you're young you think handling lead solder will never have any negative effect on your body but over time, bioaccumulation will take it's toll. I'd rather play it safe and use only lead-free , even if it is more difficult to work with. Keeping your sanity is much more important (Yes, lead poisoning will cause derrangement, literally, just ask Vincent Van Gogh, who worked with lead paints...) YOU might be impervious to lead, but you body isn't.

As someone who has used lead free solder I can tell you it is a nmightmare to use it does not flow well and it looks horrible.

@Darr247 Thanks

[Darr247]

@syncmaster710n14 : it is exactly that - carpet. Get short nap wool carpet and tack it to the bench. Keeps stuff from getting scratched up, it doesn't melt like synthetics and is not too flammable. Many times you can find scraps, big enough to do your bench, in dumpsters outside carpet shops. So when it gets tore up or dirty, just replace it.
