One of the most annoying things in industry is that tin is a metal. This metal dissolves quickly when exposed to high temperatures. Generally, solder paste is needed during soldering. The smell of the dissolved solder paste is rather pungent. If one stays in such an environment for a long time, it is very likely to cause mild tin poisoning. Moreover, frequent breathing can also cause damage to the lungs. However, solder paste has excellent solderability. So, what are the harms of solder paste to the human body?Solder paste manufacturerHere is an explanation for everyone:

Lead-free tin bar

What are the harms of soldering to the human body?

1Nervous system The main manifestations are neurasthenia, polyneuropathy and encephalopathy.

2.Digestive system Mild cases may present with general digestive tract symptoms, while severe cases may experience abdominal colic.

3Blood system It is mainly lead that interferes with the synthesis process of hemoglobin, causing changes in its metabolites, such as bloodδ-AL Reduced activity, urineδ-ALAIncrease, urineCPIncrease, bloodFEP,ZPPThe increase and other factors eventually lead to anemia, mostly hypochromic normal erythrocyte type anemia.

4.Other systems Lead damage to the kidneys is more common in acute, subacute lead poisoning or severe chronic cases, presenting with amino acid proteinuria, decreased red blood cells, white blood cells, casts and renal function, suggesting toxic nephropathy, accompanied by hypertension. Female workers are more sensitive to lead, especially during pregnancy and Lactation period Can cause Infertility , Abortion Premature birth, stillbirth and infant lead poisoning. Male workerIt can cause a decrease in sperm count, weakened motility and morphological changes. In addition, it can also cause hypothyroidism.

Generally, most tin and its inorganic compounds are low-toxicity substances. Generally speaking, as long as proper protection is taken, it will not cause obvious harm to the human body in a short period of time. However, if exposed to tin dust for a long time, tin lung may occur and it may also cause nerve poisoning and other problems . Therefore, if you are exposed to tin dust for a long time, you must pay attention to protecting yourself, especially your respiratory tract. Do not let your skin come into contact with some tin salts such as tin tetrachloride. Due to the different types of tin, the damage it causes to the human body also varies. However, most of them invade the respiratory and digestive tracts, some damage the skin and mucous membranes, and a few can poison the nerves.

So in this regard, the solder paste manufacturer still wants to remind everyone that operators in this line of work should pay special attention. They should be responsible for their own health and carry out everything in a normal and standardized manner. This will also reduce some corresponding harm to themselves.
