Environmental Profile
Ecotoxicology:
Bees:LD50 >25 μg/bee.Birds:Not harmful; no significant history of ill-effect on birds.Daphnia:LC50 (48 h) 18.9 μg/l. Fish:LC50 (48 h) for young goldfish 60, adult goldfish 150, young guppies 50 mg/l.Worms:Under conditions of moderate use and cultivation, the hazard to earthworms, and hence to soil structure, is insignificant. Environmental fate:
Animals:Copper is an essential element and is under homeostatic control in mammals.Soil:Copper is strongly adsorbed to surfaces of minerals and organic matter, hence soil mobility is very low. In water, copper ions have a strong tendency to form complexes or to be adsorbed, followed by sedimentation. In the sediment, copper reacts with organPlant:Plants resist copper accumulation and translocation to stems, leaves or seeds. Most plants growing on soils containing up to 1000 ppm copper showed only slight elevation in copper content compared to plants grown in normal soils.
