Copper is an essential nutrient; however, it is also a very
toxic metal. Copper is used by the body in the formation of red blood cells, bone and some other enzymatic functions.
Extended contact with copper tubing, valves or vessels can cause
nausea,
diarrhea and vomiting. In larger quantities copper may cause
kidney damage,
liver damage and
anemia.
See your doctor if you have experienced serious health problems because of copper exposure. In addition, it may be important to
contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be
time limits within which you must commence suit.
Attorneys associated with InjuryBoard.com will evaluate your case
free of charge. In addition, you will not pay any fees or costs unless your attorney recovers money for you. Please click on the free
