Copper – Essential for Everyone!

No matter where you are, stop. Take a good look around you. Now try to guess how many of the things you see rely on copper. The answer is: probably all of them, from the wiring that brings electricity to your house and office to your pipes through which water runs.

The air-conditioning and the heating system, your car, the coins in your pocket, the smart phone you’re carrying, the laptop lying on your table. Or even the chocolate you got from that vending machine; copper is even inside you, an essential nutrient required as part of a healthy diet.
