Copper in health
Copper is an essential trace element that is vital to the health of all living things (humans, plants, animals, and microorganisms)In humans, copper is essential to the proper functioning of organs and metabolic process The human body has complex homeostatic mechanisms which attempt to ensure a constant supply of available copper, while eliminating excess copper whenever this occurs...

Aquatic Life Criteria
Copper is an essential nutrient at low concentrations, but is toxic to aquatic organisms at higher concentrations In addition to acute effects such as mortality, chronic exposure to copper can lead to adverse effects on survival, growth, reproduction as well as alterations of brain function, enzyme activity, blood chemistry, and metabolism ....

Copper Oxide
CuO NPs are more actively accumulated by plants than Cu ions as demonstrated by Nekrasova et al (2011) In this research, the comparative effect of Cu ions and CuO NPs was considered in Elodea densa plant; at high concentration (5 mg/mL), the biological accumulation coefficients (BACs) for Cu ions was proved to be higher in comparison to CuO NP BACs because of the small radius of Cu and ....

Hydrogen sulfide
Hydrogen sulfide is often produced from the microbial breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen gas, such as in swamps and sewers; this process is commonly known as anaerobic digestion which is done by sulfate-reducing microorganisms H 2 S also occurs in volcanic gases, natural gas, and in some sources of well water The human body produces small amounts of H...

Overview of Copper Poisoning
Plant eradication or reducing access to plants that cause phytogenous or hepatogenous copper poisoning is desirable Primary chronic or phytogenous poisoning may be prevented by top-dressing pastures with 1 oz of molybdenum per acre (70 g/hectare) in the form of molybdenized superphosphate or by molybdenum supplementation or restriction of ....
