Product Details
Copper poisoning through repeated inhalation of copper fumes and/or dusts that are typically associated with manufacturing may produce symptoms of nausea, vomiting, nervous manifestations, and hepatomegaly. Limited exposures through inhalation can cause typical metal-fume fever, chills, upper respiratory irritation, and aching muscles. Elevated urine copper levels may also occur with biliary cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis, or Wilson disease.
