Copper (Cu) is an indispensable element of the human body, and the adult body generally contains 70 to 100mg of copper, with an average content of 1.4 to 2.1mg per kilogram of body weight. Copper is found in all organs and tissues of the human body, usually bound to proteins or other organic matter. Among them, the liver is a warehouse for storing copper, which contains high copper content, and the brain and heart are also more. So it seems that the lack of copper in the human body is certainly not possible, so is it not the more the better?
A person is both happy and afraid of the element: heavy metal copper, although it is one of the indispensable elements of the human body, once the lack of harmful to the body. But there is also a point to remember that if the copper in the body exceeds the standard value, it is harmful to the human body, so it is not the more the better!
Copper is also an essential component of several brain amino acid oxidase enzymes. Copper deficiency can cause a decrease in the activity of amine oxidase in body tissues, resulting in the synthesis of elastin and collagen. Anemia is caused by the restriction of iron utilization in ferritin due to the weakened activity of cuprin in copper deficiency. Fetal development, bone growth, the development of red and white blood cells, iron transport and absorption, cholesterol and glucose metabolism, the normal movement of heart muscles, brain development, etc., can not be separated from the participation of copper.
The lack of copper in pregnant women can increase the fragility of the tissue, thus thinning the amniotic membrane and reducing the elasticity, premature rupture of the fetal membrane can also cause fetal skeletal retardation, weight loss, and even abortion, premature delivery, and fetal neural tube defects. Pregnant women also need copper to maintain good health and play the normal function of the body. There are many clinical symptoms associated with copper deficiency, including anemia, heart and circulatory problems, and bone deformities.
The above simple introduction of the consequences caused by the lack of copper, then what will happen if the copper exceeds the standard? The following water quality online monitoring instrument manufacturers to understand together with you about the copper in the water will exceed the standard!
In the water body, excess copper will cause pollution to the water body and stress harm to aquatic animals and plants. Copper can affect the growth of plants and animals in the water, and will also be enriched in the sediment in the water. When the sediment is stirred by external forces, the copper deposited in it will be released into the water body again, becoming internal pollution. At the same time, copper can also enter the human body through the enrichment of biological chains, and then cause harm to the human body.
As for how to avoid drinking water contaminated by copper, it is necessary to install water quality online monitoring equipment in major stations, real-time monitoring of the content of copper in the water, and compare the standards of the water environment to determine whether the water source is polluted. The instrument used to detect copper in water is called: T8000-Cu total copper online analyzer. By optical colorimetry. After the pre-treated water sample is injected into the reaction tank by the injection pump, it first reacts with strong acidic reagents to oxidize all forms of copper in the water sample into bivalent copper ions, then adds reducing reagents to reduce bivalent copper ions into cuprous ions, then adds masking agent to eliminate the interference of coexisting ions in the water sample, and finally adds characteristic color developing agent to perform color developing reaction. In the measuring range, the degree of color change is proportional to the concentration of copper in the water, and the content of copper in the water sample can be calculated by measuring the degree of color change.
