=Brief description of copper = = = Copper is a light reddish metallic luster. It is form of metal and pigment salt to make art sculptures and statues. Copper is an element; it is one of the periodic tables. It has wide productive poison and algaecides in water purification. It is a good thermal conductor of heat and electricity. Each of any elements from the periodic table has a symbol. Copper’s symbol is “Cu”. In Addition, each element has an atomic number. For copper, it is 29. Copper can be made into a rod, wire, mesh or foil. All metals melt and boil in their different melting and boiling points. Copper has a high melting point, which is 1083 degree Celsius. In boiling, it is 2567 degree Celsius. Adding different metal salts can make a burning reaction of potassium chlorate and sucrose. It makes different color flames. Copper was found by ancient Egyptian in the late 5000-1200 BC in the Upper Peninsula of the Island Cyprus. =Copper toxicity = = = Copper toxicity cause body health such as headaches, fatigue, insomnia, skin razzes or syndrome. Actually copper is good for physical and mental health. But there’s a value of the amount of copper needed. All living things such as humans, animals and plants need copper toxicity. Other elements or sources have toxicity, which can affect human bodies. Hazardous effect of the environment Humans need some amount of copper to sometimes make them diet. Animals need the accurate amount of copper to maintenance of ruminant health. Humans need copper for bones and connective tissue, energy production in cells, immune response, glandular system that is particularly the thyroid and adrenal glands, reproductive and nervous system. For instance, if sheep get less copper, it affects the dig pigmentation of hair and wool and they can get sick of diarrhea. Copper is nutritional management for sheep in copper toxicity. If animal get little copper, they could get poor of growth, anorexia, anemia and bone disorders (osteoporosis). And if animal get too much copper, it could damage their bodies. This is because copper can be toxic causing. The most common injury of toxic causing is injury to red blood cells, injury to lungs, liver and pancreatic functions. If animals get too much copper, copper is quickly excreted in urine and does not build up in liver until massive does are administrative. Disease can occur in foreplay of all breeds in the winter and fall in the time of year. Plants such as lupines contain toxic alkaloids that produce copper toxicity. Copper is also found in fruits, vegetables and foods that is necessary for growth and functioning of plants. Copper concentrations is in tend to increase in soil and the acidity level can affect the amount copper is taken up. =Hazardous effect of the environment = = = Humans need some amount of copper to sometimes make them diet.

Examples of industrial uses of copper are plumbing, roofing and cladding. Industrial has anti-microbial properties that help providing hygienic surfaces in hospitals and other heath care facilities. It is alloyed with nickel and form of cupronickel and model for shipbuilding. Due to its ductility, it is thermal conductivity and corrosion-resistant parts. If copper is in liquid, it is used as wood preservative. 65% of copper is produced for electrical applications. The important uses of copper that use electrical appliances are such as use in generation and transmission of electricity, transformers, motors, bush bars, generations and etc (so provide through out the country, safely and efficiently). In case of electrical equipments, copper is used in wiring and contacts for PC, TV, hand phones and circuits. Copper is used in our daily life. We all humans and animals need copper for the tissue in our bodies, for instance, liver muscles and bones). Main function in our bodies is to act as a co-factor in enzymes and pigments. Deviancy in human bodies can lead to gray hairs skin wrinkles, veins and skins. This is because it helps in improving in skin and grayness of hair. There are also essential nutrient to all higher plants and animal life. Doorknobs and other fixtures, frying pans and cutlery (if they are made from electroplated Nickel silver), water heating cylinders, both tubs, sink and counters are all made from copper that is used in our daily life. =Transportation of copper = = = Electric supper trams are made from copper and alloys that helps to provide cities and passing current throughout trains. The current is carried to the lights; central locking, on-board computers, satellite navigation systems and etc are uses of transportation. Examples of transportation are building of trains, lorries, cars, trains and etc. =Other information about copper = = = Copper is one of only two metals with distinct color (the other is gold). Copper will not run out because there are about 5.8 million of which only about 12% have been mined throughout history. Coins, dimes, quarter and half dollars have a solid cooper core and an outer layer of copper-nickel alloy. New York’s Statue of Liberty is made from 80 tones of copper. Copper is a natural antibacterial. =Bibliography: =
