	copper
		Copper is present in concn averaging about 4 ppm in limestones, 55 ppm in igneous rocks, 50 ppm in sandstones, and 45 ppm in shales.
		The concentration of copper in the continental crust, generally estimated at 50 ppm, tends to be highest in the ferromagnesium minerals, such as the basalts pyropene and biotite, where it averages 140 ppm.
		The average atmospheric level of copper in the 1970's was 0.4 mg/cu m in remote area, 25 ng/cu m in rural areas, 160 ng/cu m in urban areas, and 190 ng/cu m in suburban areas.

	The Mineral Copper (DesertUSA) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Copper found in the free metallic state in nature is called "native copper." It is found throughout the world as a primary mineral in basaltic lavas.
		Copper was intentionally alloyed with tin as bronze about 3500 BC, and this harder metal was so universal in early history that one period is known as the Bronze Age.
		Copper is also a trace element essential to the healthy life of many plants and animals, in which it usually occurs as part of oxidizing enzymes.

	EPA Ground Water & Drinking Water > breadcrumb? > Consumer Factsheet on: COPPER
		The Action Level for copper has also been set at 1.3 ppm because EPA believes, given present technology and resources, this is the lowest level to which water systems can reasonably be required to control this contaminant should it occur in drinking water at their customers home taps.
		Copper may occur in drinking water either by contamination of the source water used by the water system, or by corrosion of copper plumbing.
		Copper is rarely found in source water, but copper mining and smelting operations and municipal incineration may be sources of contamination.

		Much of the copper used by the Native American was "drift copper" — removed from the rocks by the glaciers and dropped randomly in the glacial debris.
		Copper from these mines was widely distributed throughout the country, and it is probable that numerous tribes made summer pilgrimages to the Upper Peninsula to get supplies of the precious metal.
		The copper carried in solution in the water was deposited in cavities and pore spaces in the rocks due to changes in chemistry and/or cooling of the fluids.

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 1, Ch. 4, Mineral Deficiency And Toxicity
		Copper (Cu) is a heavy metal whose unbound ions are toxic.
		Almost all of the copper in the body is present as a component of copper proteins, thereby reducing the in vivo concentration of unbound copper ions almost to zero.
		The copper toxicosis of Wilson's disease is characterized, from birth on, by an average concentration of hepatic copper 20 times higher than normal and by deficiency of the plasma copper protein ceruloplasmin, averaging about 30% of normal.
