Can you get lead poisoning that way?


It produces loads of tiny particles of lead, so I'm guessing yes.


I was thinking you might be grinding (heavy partials) rather than
sanding (flying dust) but you are right, you don't really want to be
breathing it in, *even* if it is only 50% lead (rather than lead-free,
tin-antimony and tin-silver etc).


The work was done 22 years ago, so I assume the solder had lead in it then?
