Is wave soldering harmful to human body?

The influence of long-term contact wave soldering on people;

1. Harm to health: Inhaled smoke during welding will lead to lung, liver, kidney and other functional failures, which will affect fertility, because harmful gases and light will be generated during welding and combustion.

2, resulting in decreased vision: the smoke generated during welding contains chemicals and tin smoke, which is very harmful to the eyes. Long-term exposure will lead to decreased vision and weak color discrimination.

3, radiation to the human body: when welding with an electric soldering iron, it will produce certain radiation, which will have a certain impact on the human body, especially on embryo development, so long-term engagement in this industry may even lead to infertility.

Extended content:

The smoke and dust produced by welding may cause tin pneumoconiosis, and the usual occupational hazard is that it has a great impact on respiratory tract and lungs; If tin oxide is inhaled, according to the international chemical safety card, it may cause mechanical irritation to the respiratory tract, and long-term repeated contact may cause lung injury, leading to benign pneumoconiosis (tin pneumoconiosis).

But it is not directly mentioned in the Catalogue of Occupational Hazards. The contents of tin include: occupational diseases that may be caused by lead and its compounds (lead dust, lead smoke and lead compounds, excluding tetraethyl lead). Example of lead and its compound poisoning industry: (1) heavy nonferrous metal smelting industry: tin ore batching in front of furnace, tin ore fuming, tin smelting, tin refining, tin ore fuming and tin electrolysis (2) electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing industry: wire and cable tin plating (3) electronic and communication equipment manufacturing industry: circuit substrate sintering, tin lining of components, wave soldering of components and manual welding of components:

In short: when operating wave soldering, we must strictly abide by the operating rules of wave soldering and do a good job of labor protection. It won't hurt people. It is suggested that wave soldering operators go to the hospital for physical examination regularly to prevent occupational diseases.
