Copper and Bronze hazards

Craft Talk
1

Not feeling up to making anything is the quickest way to wreck the item so instead I googled some of the hazards of working with bronze or copper.
It can make you paranoid so does anyone here have any problems working with the above metals ? Does anyone have a unique way of avoiding any hazards ? ( C’mon I know you all have a magic wand tucked away to make these problems vanish.) Or have you all worked happily with these materials without problems,? What workspace do you have?

I find the fumes from copper, even the small amount when melting silver quite toxic, so I have good fume extraction above my soldering station.

Can’t say I’ve ever had any extra problems with copper. I’m already ashtmatic but it hasn’t made it any worse and I’ve been using it for 20 years!
