Did you know that soldering fumes can be harmful to your health? It's time to protect yourself.

• Soldering fumes as an underestimated health risk

  Did you know that indoor and outdoor air pollution is one of the top health risk factors—right after high blood pressure and even before smoking? Many of the dusts and fumes produced during soldering pose serious health risks when inhaled. Prolonged exposure without professional soldering fume extraction can lead to serious, long-term illnesses such as occupational asthma and chronic respiratory problems.

• Occupational diseases and new standards

  Every year, thousands of workers worldwide suffer from work-related lung diseases, including cancer. In the field of professional hand soldering in particular, the importance of air quality and hygiene has increased dramatically, reinforced by experiences since COVID-19. New international regulations and laws, such as OSHA regulations and the Clean Air Act, already require that hazardous substances be effectively removed from the air to protect people and machines. A modern extraction solution is therefore not just a choice, but a necessary investment in safety.

• Special hazard posed by lead-free soldering

  The switch to lead-free solder wire has increased filtration requirements: Lead-free soldering produces up to 250% more particles. Particles with a diameter between 0.5 and 1.0 micrometers are particularly critical. This size is most dangerous when inhaled, as it penetrates deep into the respiratory tract. In addition, these vapors may contain unhealthy substances such as isocyanates and aldehydes.
• Fine dust: The path into the bloodstream

  The danger increases as particle size decreases: the smaller the particles, the deeper they penetrate into the lung tissue. They can even pass through the lung barrier and enter the bloodstream directly. This significantly increases the health risks posed by fine dust and gas vapors, making powerful solder fume extraction essential for every electronics workstation.

Health is not negotiable

Did you know that particles and gases produced during soldering can penetrate deep into the respiratory tract? Long-term health damage not only reduces quality of life, but also the productivity of your team.

With Weller ZeroSmog systems , Simpex Electronic offers you the technological answer to hazardous emissions. Quiet, efficient, and certified.

How lead-free soldering affects your health – A test filter comparison

A before-and-after comparison using a test filter clearly shows the extent of air pollution after just 90 minutes of soldering work. For professionals in electronics manufacturing, this sends a clear message: the smaller the particles produced during soldering, the deeper they penetrate the respiratory tract.

This poses serious health risks, as even the smallest particles can pass through the alveoli and enter the bloodstream directly. This underscores why professional and proper solder fume extraction is essential for a safe workplace.

7 good reasons for choosing a Weller solder fume extraction system

• 1. Maximum protection for your respiratory tract

  Did you know that professional filter units are highly effective at capturing particles and vapors that are released into the air during soldering? The ZeroSmog Shield Pro system is classified as an EPA E10 particle filter and removes over 85% of particles directly from the air. The precisely calibrated activated carbon gas filter also reliably filters out gases from approx. 300 g of solder wire before a filter change is necessary. Solutions like this provide lasting protection for your respiratory tract against hazardous substances.

• 2. Promoting health and well-being in the workplace

  A high-quality soldering fume extraction system filters pollutants from the air and thus contributes significantly to protecting the health of your employees. You reduce the risk of irritation, respiratory problems, and long-term health damage. In addition, the elimination of unpleasant odors ensures a pleasant working environment, which strengthens team satisfaction and loyalty.

• 3. Compliance with legal requirements

  By using modern filter systems, employers can ensure that they comply with applicable occupational health and safety regulations and standards. With professional extraction systems, you can create workplaces that comply with legal requirements.

• 4. Taking responsibility for the environment

  Effective filter units prevent hazardous pollutants from entering the workspace or the environment unfiltered. With a Weller ZeroSmog system, you are not only contributing to personal safety, but also taking ecological responsibility. Act now and benefit!

• 5. Reduction in absenteeism and healthcare costs

  A workplace with clean air significantly reduces the incidence of respiratory diseases, resulting in fewer sick days. Since air pollution is one of the most common preventable causes of death worldwide, investing in soldering fume extraction system in Switzerland is a wise economic decision. In the long term, you save costs that would otherwise be incurred due to health-related absences.

• 6. Increased productivity during soldering

  A healthy workplace has been proven to lead to greater efficiency. Without the distraction of acrid fumes or unpleasant odors, your employees can concentrate fully on their precision tasks. The certainty of not inhaling any harmful substances ensures focused and motivated work.

• 7. Protecting your sensitive electronic equipment

  Did you know that extraction also protects your hardware? Filter units prevent the corrosive effect of solder fumes on sensitive components and end products. This ensures the reliability of your devices, extends their service life, and reduces unnecessary electronic waste.
