About Copper
Copper is one of a number of essential metals, and a small daily intake is required to maintain a healthy life. However, ingesting high levels of the element can lead to adverse health effects, as some of its compounds are toxic.
The guideline for Copper is 50µg/m³ (24hr avg).
Copper is measured in micrograms per cubic metre.
