EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: blue. Air sensitive. Warning! Harmful if swallowed. Causes
digestive and respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. Causes eye
and skin irritation and possible burns. Hygroscopic. Mutagen. Possible
sensitizer.
Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, liver.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: Exposure to particulates or solution may cause conjunctivitis,
ulceration, and corneal abnormalities. Causes eye irritation and possible
burns.
Skin: May cause skin sensitization, an allergic reaction, which becomes
evident upon re-exposure to this material. Causes skin irritation and
possible burns. May cause itching eczema.
Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause severe gastrointestinal
tract irritation with nausea, vomiting and possible burns. Ingestion of
large amounts of copper salts may cause bloody stools and vomit, low
blood pressure, jaundice and coma. Ingestion of copper compounds may
produce systemic toxic effects to the kidney and liver and central
nervous excitation followed by depression.
Inhalation: May cause ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum if
inhaled in excessive quantities. Causes respiratory tract irritation with
possible burns.
Chronic: Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis.
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause anemia and other blood
cell abnormalities. Individuals with Wilson's disease are unable to
metabolize copper. Thus, copper accumulates in various tissues and
may result in liver, kidney, and brain damage. Laboratory experiments
have resulted in mutagenic effects. May cause allergic skin reaction in
some individuals. Chronic copper poisoning in man is recognized in the
form of Wilson's disease.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical
aid.

Goldfish: LC50 = 0.1-2.5 mg/L; 96 Hr; Unspecified flea Daphnia: EC50
= 0.24 mg/L; 48 Hr; Unspecified In soil, copper sulfate is partly washed
down to lower levels, partly bound by soil components, and partly
oxidatively transformed. Copper has a strong affinity for hydrous iron
and manganese oxides, clays, carbonate minerals, and organic matter.
Sorption to these materials ... suspended in the water column & in the
bed sediments, results in relative enrichment of the solid phase and
reduction in dissolved levels.
Environmental: Copper is accumulated by plants and animals, but it
does not appear to biomagnify from plants to animals. This lack of
biomagnification appears common with heavy metals. In air, copper
aerosols (in general) have a residence time of 2 to 10 days in an
unpolluted atmosphere and 0.1 to > 4 days in polluted, urban areas.
Physical: No evidence was found to indicate that there is any
biotransformation proces for copper compounds which would have a
significant bearing on the fate of copper in aquatic environments.
Other: None.
