Hi Gaston, The real question is "how much of what compound is being produced?"
It's probably in the low parts-per-billion range from stainless steel. One or two metals are really toxic at low concentrations (cadmium is one, I think). But even the "bad" metals, such as lead and aluminum, are *used by the body in trace amounts* according to two reports I read. Whether they're really needed is another question. :) Also, I know quite a few people who've handled lead all their lives, and are still going strong in their 80's and 90's. (They're long-time ham radio operators who've used lead/tin solder since they were kids -- as I have. But I'm only 62. Oh ... as kids we also played around with mercury, using it to coat dimes and quarters to make them shiny, for example.)
