Copper: medical and biologic effects of environmental pollutants
Book
·
OSTI ID:6430957
Copper should be used with awareness of its ultimate distribution and effects on the ecosystem. Judicious use of copper may aid in obtaining optimal yields of crops and in inhibiting the growth of undesirable plants, particularly fungi. Deficient and excessive copper in soil and water will greatly affect agriculture, animal husbandry, and the economic and biologic aspects of certain aquatic organisms. Copper is essential to the life and health of human beings, and the interaction of its environmental supply with the mechanisms controlling its absorption, transport, and excretion is so finely tuned that significant clinical manifestations of deficiency or toxicosis are very rare. 638 references, 7 tables.
