Copper
What is Copper?
Copper is a metal found in natural deposits and geological formations and is often used in household plumbing systems. Corrosion of copper pipes, usually as a result of acidic water, leaches copper into drinking water and is associated with blue-green staining found on household fixtures. 

What are the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) for Copper?
The United States Environmental Protection Agency sets a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for contaminants in public drinking water. These levels are the maximum concentration that is allowed for public water supplies. The MCL goal for Copper is 1.3 mg/L or 1.3 ppm.


What are the potential health effects from long-term exposure above the MCL?
Those using drinking water sources containing Copper in excess may experience gastrointestinal distress after short-term exposure, and with long-term exposure may experience liver or kidney damage.

What treatment methods have been proven to be effective for removal or inactivation?
Reverse osmosis has been proven to be the most effective way of eliminating Copper from drinking water sources.
