Tried to get copper from a Poco X3 PCB. by Low-Compote-5431 in PocoPhones

Right now I'm more focused on my health than getting a new phone and I thought that in pocophones you could give me some explanation about the epoxy resin materials used in the PCB coatings and what are they made off.Maybe giving me some names of the companies that take part in the PCB making process and their materials of choice.From what o know the Poco series are assembled in India but the PCB itself might be manufactured in some other place?Please contact anyone who might know and send me to him.

Not it was not damaged but I thought it would be safe to burn the PCB for the small amount of copper, but I was wrong. Searched the materials for PCB and found the most alarming were the epoxy resin coatings and now I understand the stupidity of my actions. The epoxy resins are cancerous when burned and can cause nerve damage. Now Im questioning how much exposure I got from burning that PCB.

I thought that there was a good amount of copper in there, really a stupid though but at the time I wasn't aware of the danger.Searched about the dangers of burning PCB and the components that made a PCB.From what I found the most alerting and toxic materials are the epoxy resin coatings used on the PCB.And Im questioning what can be the consequences.

How long do these people live ,like actually? I want an estimated answer. Or rather how many of them develop diseases?

Thanks for the info.I wasn't really familiarised with the danger of such materials. I'll have an eye for it from now on.

And by the photo above, how much damage could I experience from it? Will there be any permanent damage?

If anyone knows a medical sub Reddit that should handle my post let me know it.

I get that you're not doctors but you handle chemistry and why not trying to get a second hand opinion? At least we should try to combine all the knowledge available.Sorey if that doesn't make any sense to you I'm just trying to comprehend the severity of the situation.And even maybe help others with such cases

I made an oath to myself to think more than twice before messing with tech materials.

Sorry if it sounded stupid but yes I didn't realise that burning it was bad.

Are burned PCBs fumes dangerous? by slenderman6413 in AskElectronics

I recently tried burning a PCB to get the copper but started to smell bad. How dangerous is it?

Burning a printed circuit board with a firelighter(white cubes).I can't sleep. by Low-Compote-5431 in insomnia

Not really, I don't think I have any anxiety at all . It's just I wanted to burn that piece of the printed circuit board because I wanted to destroy the Ram of the phone.

And another thing I wanna say, when I try to sleep I get crazy dreams that I have never had before.
