Protect yourself

  • Daily contact with particles and gases in the air for 30 minutes is enough to cause health problems.
  • 30 minutes per day means approx. 110 hours per year or 14 working days of continuous contact with harmful gases and particles.

Health problems:
Many of today's dusts and vapors are harmful if inhaled. Excessive exposure can lead to serious, long-term health problems such as occupational asthma or have other consequences such as:

  • Headache
  • Nosebleed
  • Sionasal cancer
  • Sore throat
  • Eye irritation
  • Damage to the airways
  • Occupational asthma
  • Dermatitis and acne

Soldering:
Lead-free soldering produces up to 250% more particles in the breathing zone than soldering with leaded solder. Per cubic meter, 700 million tiny particles are emitted, which can enter the alveoli.

Gluing:
Adhesive vapors can cause skin irritation, drying of the skin, allergic contact eczema, respiratory and asthma problems.

Solvents:
Vapors from organic solvents can damage the nervous system and lead to reduced sensitivity and restless legs and arms.
