lead exposure

| so cyberpunk life: when soldering tiny lead wires to fix computer boards.... what does fume exposure to eye will cause?

like is it bloody risky? since i ve been exposed to it and while it dont hurt... does long term effects will seen?


| the fumes from soldering stuff is corrosive.

it might not do anything on the short term but you might be damaging your eyes such that your vision will worsen. at least get goggles or something.


| Get goggles and get the eccentric mechanic aesthetic


| Low level lead exposure is kind of like low level radiation exposure. A little won't kill you or probably hurt you much at all. Though over time. It will likely cause issues. There is also the other factor of breathing these fumes in. Which would result in a greater exposure than just an irritant getting in your eye.


| The fumes are worse than the lead. Get a fan to keep it away from your face, and get a HEPA air filter.

Lead poisoning is a really awful problem that created karens, but at least those Karen's don't need glasses!


| Stop using lead and shitty soldering wire, be a real cyberpunk and use pure tin to solder, from old recycled cookware.
