What happens if you eat copper dust?
Eating copper dust can result in copper toxicity withvomiting, hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hypotension (low blood pressure), melena (black "tarry" feces), coma, jaundice (yellowish pigmentation of the skin), and gastrointestinal distress.[1]There are medications that can taken to chelate( remove) the copper from the body before it can do damage.The thing that should happen:SEE A DOCTOR OR EMERGENCY CARE CENTERFootnotes[1] Copper toxicity - Wikipedia
Inhaled CuSO4 (Copper II Sulfate) What should I do?
About 1.5 hours ago in my Chem class we were doing an experiment with 2 grams of CuSO4 in its powder form. My teacher told us to put it under the sink when we were done to restore the H2O we evaporated out of it. When I put it under the sink, the knob turned to much and the water blasted the powder into the air. Some went up my nose and got on my hand. I can still feel some of it in my nose and I've tried blowing it several times. I read here: http://avogadro.chem.iastate.edu/msds/cuso4-5h2o.htm that it is very dangerous and I'm wondering if 2 grams of it would be enough do any of those things and if I should go to a hospital or something like that. My nose is very stuffy but I've had a bit of a cold for the past few days and I'm unsure if the substance has anything to do with it. Did I inhale enough for this to be something to worry about?
What happens when zinc is added to copper sulphate solution which is blue in color.?
You get a displacement reaction occurring, with the zinc replacing the copper in the solution. You will see a formation of a brown metal of copper and the solution will turn colorless due to the reaction Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) -------------> ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)
What happens if you inhale sulfur? Is it dangerous to human beings?
Sulfur is known to have a very low toxicity rate to humans. Inhalation of even a significant amount would likely just cause irritation of the mucosal linings of your nose and possibly some minor trachiobronchitis.
What happens if too much dust enters your eyes?
Depends on what kind of dust. Fine, small particles are washed out by tears automatically and cause no trouble besides tearing. Coarse dust, like the dust made while sawing, can abrade cornea and cause pain and irritation, that lasts for days.You should wash your eyes with plenty of clean water - like for five minutes or more. You could also ask somebody to evert the eyelids and wash with water underneath. Wash as long as irritation persists. If it doesn’t get better, and eye is very irritated, go to see the ophthalmologist.
Why copper is used in bullets?
Copper is used in the gilding metal, a copper-zinc alloy. This is a thin jacket around the bullet (which is usually mainly made of lead). It's purpose is to protect the barrel from fouling caused by the soft lead.Bullets are actually slightly smaller than the bore of the barrel in the gun. As the bullet moves down the barrel this causes the rifling in the barrel to bite into the bullet and impart some spin onto it. If the hard steel rifling was cutting into the extremely soft lead you'd get a lot of lead left in the barrel, which is obviously not good. The gilding metal jacket of the bullet acts as a sort of lubricant, it's hard and smooth enough to not leave loads of crud in the barrel, but soft enough to deform easily when it reaches the rifling.
I think I inhaled steel wool... am I in trouble?
We did a lab in science yesterday, and we had to clean some pennies in preparation. I think I accidentally inhaled some, because I feel like I've been gargling nails all week, and when I look in the mirror, it looks way more read than usual. What do I do, if I inhaled some? Go to the doctor? Drink some water and wait it out? I am I in trouble? (Health wise)
Is it toxic to inhale metal dust as a machinist? I mostly have worked with aluminum, steel, and sometimes copper or brass.
Original question: Is it toxic to inhale metal dust as a machinist? I mostly have worked with aluminum, steel, and sometimes copper or brass.None of these materials are toxic. However, excessive dust will damage your lungs and give you a condition similar to silicosis. If you see visible dust (which you shouldn’t), use a liquid coolant to cool the material and remove particles and dust. A coolant setup is cheap compared to the damage you would do to your lungs. However, I doubt you are generating enough dust for this to be important.
