Solder and flux, too.
2 1 ReplyDoes solder actually emit fumes below melting point? I did not know about that.
2 0 Replydepends on the solder, honestly. I doubt it would be an issue with consumer/mass produced electronics, but there's a possibility. But if you're doing your own with rosin-core solder (which is most solders,) the rosin/flux can. (you can remove it with stuff meant to remove it. which you should do because flux is freaking nasty.)
