Thanks for the tips.

When I worked for Sony SAYS we used fans to draw the fumes through a filter. I also was tested for lead inhalation with one of those meter things you wear around with you all day. No problems.The flux fumes can be really bad. I don’t know what the combustion products of flux might be but anything that smells that foul can’t be good for you.
Safety glasses are really important for soldering. Human eyes do not like liquid metal. I wear prescription lenses but used to put on those cheap poly carb no correction glasses and get in real close. Now and then I’d replace them. Spared my eyes when I worked with 0.5mm pitch work while protecting them from sputtered solder.
