Electronics release all sorts of non-cool chemicals... plastic related, and flame retardants.

flame removedants

That’s actually really funny.

This is not a helpful feature.

But where were the ants removed to?

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

That's Lemmy.ml for you. Could swap to an instance like .world that doesn't use the profanity removal feature.

Does solder actually emit fumes below melting point? I did not know about that.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

depends 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.)

Oh, interesting. I did not know about that. Thanks for the info. I will be looking into some cleaning stuff for my personal soldering projects.
