Thus, using copper sulfate will create more work in the end. It does not biodegrade. As stated above, copper sulfate accumulates as a heavy metal precipitate once it is applied to water. Because of this, it does not biodegrade. A buildup of copper sulfate can lead to a sterile water bottom, which can decrease and kill beneficial bacteria. It is not natural and cannot be removed without the assistance of other chemicals or treatments.
It is detrimental to plant and aquatic life. The accumulation of copper sulfate after application can create a sterile water bottom where important nutrients and bacteria that fish and other aquatic life need are killed off. Copper sulfate can weaken the aquatic food chain by killing off weaker fish who need the nutrients to survive, this leads to overpopulation of some species for short periods of time until they die off because they are without a food source.
It also creates over-oxygenated water which can also cause plants to die. Lastly, animals that drink from this water may be at increased risk of injury or death. Its buildup is expensive to dispose of. Once a buildup of copper sulfate occurs, it may be considered hazardous waste. When disposal is required, this hazardous waste status can make it more expense to get rid of, due to requiring professional cleanup. It can make water runoff hazardous. Copper sulfate is known to build up once used, and can cause runoff water to become potentially hazardous to those who encounter it.
Water that has been contaminated with copper sulfate can be harmful to crops, animals, and people. S3 , 99 , SS Shah, F. Evaluation of status of trace and toxic metals in biological samples scalp hair, blood, and urine of normal and anemic children of two age groups.

We're simply saying that a carefully defined, limited, purposeful question can often be answered with a paragraph or two as is appropriate to a public forum -- but explaining the complete human toxicology of copper would require book-length treatment, and we probably can't help with that.
Please can you give me some advice. I recently bought a cereal. While eating it, I tasted a metal taste. Upon looking at the cereal I noticed blue particles in the white cereal. The cereal company says it was copper sulphate which was not sieved properly when added to the dry ingredients.
I have suffered migraines and sores on my skin I look forward to your reply. Thank you. Hi Jules. To someone like myself with no medical qualifications, those symptoms sound unlikely, although vomiting sounds quite likely. But you really ought to get medical advice from doctors.
Feel better. Hi Ted Thank you for your response. I will ask my doctor. Kind regards, Jules. I ate the copper sulphate for attempting suicide last night but it doesn't killing me but I have got its exposure symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea; but now I am worried that what will happen to me now if I am not dead.
What will happen to me now is my major question. How can I stop its effect in my body now What should I do now to avoid its harms in my body now. Hi Sara. Sorry that you resorted to that in a moment of despair. The world needs each one of us; no one else in this whole world can fill the void that you would leave. But you must find someone locally with medical knowledge to monitor your situation -- nobody can offer a useful answer from this distance.
Dear ted, thank you for great sympathy but I cannot tell this to my parents or any relatives cause I did this for my boyfriend. Now I realize that I did wrong to myself actually but still I cannot tell anyone about that. I am afraid already Still awaiting
