Maybe but are not certain. I guess water soluable compounds must be formed but 
in such case it could be very dangerous.

I am certain it will if it leak and in such case it will be very harmful.

It is a long term "integrating" effect and is eventually harmful also for 
adults. I think to much lead will make brain stupid but do know anyone who 
worked in lead fumes for a long time.

If I got it correct lead could be released in air there my nose are straight 
over the soldering iron so this is the main reason I avoid it.
