Is 'indirect' contact with lead solder safe?
<< < (4/6) > >>
cdev:
I wonder if sulfur soap or EDTA-soap would be better than regular soap for washing up after soldering? EDTA binds metals. And  thiols like lipoic acid, as well as sulfur-containing amino acids may help bind some metals.

Both tend to dry out the skin a bit more than most soaps.
Rerouter:
The soaps not much of an issue, just most people don't wash there hands well

Have a look at the Wash part
jotwerde:
Just for clarification, when you all say 'wash your hands before eating', do you mean 'wash your hands before eating if you handled solder' or 'generally wash your hands before eating even if you haven't handled solder, because you've got solder lying around'? Taking the example from above, should the one who took the book wash his hands, even though he just touched the book and may not know that it's touched solder?

Feeling brave yesterday, I watched it. Aside from loosing consciousness twice while watching, I'd say I'm fine.
Just joking.

Mechatrommer, If the bandwidth is under 40GHz, then your still fine. once you have to apply correction curves for the characteristics of your probes, you start going mad.
