soldering fume extractor?

Recommended Posts

Is it necessary? Well, I think a well ventilated room with a fan to blow a way the fumes is just as good. If you use aircon room to solder in, then I worry for you. Don't know if the Weller fume extractor has carbon filter to absorb the lead.

well i work in aircon environment.. = and lately i've being getting real bad headaches..100 bucks is a well spent if i can reduce that toxic fume in the air i guess..i guess i better ask them first if it has carbon filter

 

p.s, yea it does have carbon activated filter control

I agree with you kookie. $100 is a small price to pay for health. If you solder in an enclosed room, please use the fume extractor.
