Not sure. I've always been tought to try not to breathe the fumes from
the standard 60/40 stuff. Would be interesting to hear if they actually
are harmful.

For occasional DIY I seriously doubt there is any real health hazard. H&S
regulations require some form of extraction for regular use. But I'd
always thought this was mainly for the flux fumes which are carcinogenic.
