    but it’s industrial scale where they are clearly bad, like giant basins of melted solder or ball placement thingies, and then in the trash where lead leaches out into environment, lead doesn’t evaporate that easy. in placing stuff on boards it’s probably equal, for copper wires, maybe i just suck but i have to try a lot to get it attached with lead free solder, it cools too quickly (i’m also doing on needs basis every 6 months or so, not a professional or anything)
