copper is a metal that can break
You get acid rain
Low-grade copper ore contains a small amount of copper (1% or lower) and a big amount of waste rock. The problem with low-grade copper is that it breaks down and melts more easily than copper ore.
The easiest way to solve these problems is to use what is called a unit multiplier. First begin with the number of grams of copper that you have, then use the unit multiplier that expresses the number of grams per mole of copper (this is the number that corresponds to the atomic mass on the periodic table times grams, divided by moles). Then use the number of copper atoms that it takes to create copper oxide; this will depend on the oxidation state of the copper. Finally it reverse the process by adding up the atomic masses of copper oxide, and that will be the number of grams per mole of copper oxide, returning you from Moles back to Grams.

There are many e.g. CuO, CuCO3 CuSO4 and Copper Phthalocyanine which is an important blue pigment used in blue paints and inks.

Some women do and some women don't. If you are having problems, have it removed.
It is not recommended to eat fish from a pond containing copper sulfate, but if care is given it is not harmful. Humans can safely consume small amounts of copper, but in large amounts it can cause health problems.
Environmentally, yes. saves the environment because less co2 released than actually mining copper :) but problems ----> recycling - EXPENSIVE
According to this very interesting website, it is safe to use. vttp://www.mygrannysatticantiques.com/html/copper_molds.html "Unlined copper molds ARE safe to use. The food product is not kept in it for a long enough period of time to cause any problems. And what problems could occur? COPPER IS GOOD FOR YOU IN SMALL QUANTITIES, see the above paragraphs. Unlined copper pots are used in some of the best French kitchens and unlined copper is perfect for heating chocolate." Ace
Absolutely NOT soldered !!!!!! IT HAS to be BRAZED SEE THE NFPA 54 and look at the medical gas requirements from the Copper Development Association (CDA)
It's poor quality and not all the copper can be extraxted from it
One side effect of using a copper IUD is menstrual problems, spotting between periods. Additional side effects may include perforation and expulsion.
Pvc can be clear and makes it easier when trying to spot blockage problems. Also, it is easier to install and work with. It tends to last longer then copper.
It can be done and it has been done plenty in the past. However, with the advent of pex, no prudent journeyman would embed copper in concrete. The risks of copper failing are greater than those of PEX. Potential copper problems are calcification inside the pipe and corrosion due to ingredients such as lime, etc. in the concrete.
