Soldering fumes have long been a concern for workers on assembly lines. It is widely known that prolonged exposure is harmful to human health—but how harmful is it exactly? And can the solder fume purifiers available on the market truly filter the harmful substances generated during operation?
In most factories, solder used in production contains approximately 60% lead and 40% tin. Even so-called lead-free solder often contains trace amounts of lead. Below, we outline the health risks associated with lead and tin:
Lead fumes are highly toxic. Once lead enters the human body, only a portion is expelled via feces or sweat. The rest is absorbed into the bloodstream within hours and may infiltrate brain and nerve tissues, impairing oxygen and nutrient delivery and causing symptoms such as dizziness.
Tin and its inorganic compounds are generally considered low in toxicity if proper safety measures are in place. However, long-term exposure can affect the respiratory and digestive systems, and cause skin and mucosal irritation. In some cases, neurotoxicity may occur. Symptoms of tin poisoning include breathing difficulties, persistent coughing, reduced work capacity, and in severe cases, nausea and neurological issues.
Given the significant risks, it is essential for those working in soldering environments to take effective protective measures. Solder fume purifiers are specifically designed to capture and filter the hazardous fumes generated during soldering. Using multi-stage filtration systems, these units can achieve over 99% purification efficiency, significantly reducing exposure to harmful gases.
For the sake of a healthier work environment, selecting the right fume purifier is a responsible and necessary step.
Our Company
All of our fume purification equipment is independently developed and supported by an engineering team with over 16 years of industry experience. Our systems are widely applied in manufacturing facilities for the filtration of smoke, dust, particulate matter, and odors.
Our product range includes:
