variety of crops. Pot tests indicated that addition of about 200 p.p.m. of copper from copper sulfate produced a toxic reaction in soils low in copper, but otherwise comparable to Alsatian vineyard soils, which were found to contain as much as 400 p.p.m. of copper. Among the crops tested, vines were most resistant to copper toxicity; clover and alfalfa were most sensitive. Symptoms of copper po...

In this study we investigated histopathological changes of mice ovarian tissues following long-term administration of copper sulfate and induction of chronic copper poisoning. The study comprised of three different groups of twenty one mice as follows: The first group (Group 100) which treated by gavage with copper sulfate at a dose of 100 mg kg-1 for 5 weeks. The second group (Group 200), whic...

As copper sulphate pentahydrate (CSP) is a common compound used in agriculture and industry, chronic occupational exposures to CSP are well known, but acute poisoning is rare in the Western world. This case report describes acute poisoning of a 33-year-old woman who attempted suicide by ingesting an unknown amount of CSP. On admission to the hospital, she had symptoms and signs of severe hemorr...

background: copper sulfate ingestion is a relatively popular method for committing suicide in indian subcontinent. it causes a high mortality rate, and so a growing concern has been raised to identify the severe alarming signs suggestive of poor prognosis and to improve treatment approaches. case report: a 22-year-old unmarried man working as a painter was found unconscious at his friend reside...

The theory of statistical-mechanical lattice-gas modeling of adsorption is reviewed and shown to be applicable to a range of electrochemical problems dominated by effective, lateral adsorbate–adsorbate interactions. A general strategy for applying the method to specific systems is outlined, which includes microscopic model formulation, calculation of zero-temperature phase diagrams, numerical c...

Ingestion of copper sulphate is an uncommon form of poisoning which is usually reported in Indian subcontinent. This poisoning can lead to life threatening serious complications like acute intravascular hemolysis, renal failure, rhabdomyolysis and methemoglobinemia. Due to its rarity, physicians may face difficulties with management. Here we report a case of acute ingestion of copper sulphate i...

Administration of niridazole to rats poisoned with copper caused a significant increase in both the urinary and biliary excretion of the metal. Although the urinary excretion of iron was increased by the drug, iron excretion was significantly decreased during the drug-induced excretion of copper after copper poisoning. Formation of a copper-niridazole chelate or chelates before excretion in the...
