The process of joining electronic devices to a PCB or soldering is always performed not only by electronic engineers or technicians, but also by hobbyists. In soldering, lead is used as filler metal to join the pins of an electronic device to the PCB pads. When lead is heated during soldering, it produces toxic fumes that are hazardous to humans when inhaled. Excessive exposure to lead oxide fumes can result in lead poisoning. As suggested by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) agency, there should be proper ventilation during soldering to avoid or minimize exposure to lead oxide fumes. Read More
