Ah, RS Components. When I was an office equipment engineer, I used to love trawling through the new RS catalogues when they came in.

And the fumes are...? Flux, i.e. resin/rosin. It is true, you do not have to inhale it. The similar resins are there in the lead-free, too.

Melting point of lead (Pb) is around 330 degree Celsius and boiling point over 1700 Celsius. If you are able to boil the tin with your iron, I would love to know the model, as I want similar.

Lead-tin solder can give off lead fumes at 450C, just as warm water can mist a mirror at well below 100C.

A big non-temperature controlled iron might reach 450C. Also if you solder using a naked flame (I do, it's not just useful for electrics) you will almost certainly go over 450C.

I use leaded solder, but have a fume extractor I use if doing a lot (chiefly for the rosin fumes - I have some non-rosin chlorine free solder and it's not as good as rosin cored).

Every material gives matter to the air at the atomic level in nearly all temperatures. Like was the problem with 1 kg standard weight (in Paris, n'est-ce pas?). Sure, all amounts do mean a lot with a material like lead. A small fan is just so comfortable with any fumes, be it resin/rosin or metals.

I 3D printed a housing for a computer fan, which holds a couple of squares of cooker-hood carbon filter and runs off a wall wart.

Wow, you're really into your small print.
