Copper is mildly toxic to humans in large quantities. It's significantly more toxic to marine organisms and quite toxic to many plants.
Other than that, copper carbonate isn't especialliy "dangerous".

What is the name of this ternary salt cu2co3?
copper(II) carbonate or cupric carbonate
What is copper carbonate plus potassium?
Potassium Carbonate and Copper metal
How do you separate unreacted copper II carbonate from aqueous copper II chloride?
By filtration, as Copper(II) carbonate is insoluble
What happens to magnesium carbonate copper carbonate zinc carbonate and calcium carbonate when they are heated?
They form magnesium oxide, copper oxide etc. and will form carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
Symbol equation when copper carbonate is heated?
Here are the equations for the thermal decomposition of copper carbonate (notice that a metal oxide is formed, just as it was with calcium carbonate): Copper carbonate → copper oxide + carbon dioxide CuCO3 → CuO + CO2
Compound for copper carbon and oxygen?
Copper Carbonate.
What is the name of this ternary salt cu2co3?
copper(II) carbonate or cupric carbonate
What compound will be formed between copper ion and carbonate ion?
Copper and carbonate ions form copper carbonate. In practice, copper carbonate usually contains hydroxide ions as well.
What is copper carbonate plus potassium?
Potassium Carbonate and Copper metal
What is the precipitate of copper sulphate and sodium carbonate?
The copper(III) carbonate is a precipitate.
Is copper carbonate a solid liguid or gas?
copper (II) carbonate is a solid
What kind of precipitate forms from copper chloride and sodium carbonate?
Copper carbonate would precipitate if you combined solutions of copper (II) chloride and sodium carbonate.
Which compounds make up copper carbonate?
Copper(II) Carbonate (or Cupric Carbonate) is made up of Copper ions, and Carbonate ions. The coppers have a +2 charge, and carbonate has a -2 charge. The formula is Cu(II)CO3
What does copper carbonate have?
The chemical formula of copper carbonate is considered to be Cu(OH)2CO3.
Why does copper sulphate and sodium carbonate mixed together turn green?
Copper sulfate reacts with sodium carbonate to produce sodium sulfate and copper carbonate. (CuSO4 + Na2CO3 --> Na2SO4 + CuCO3) Copper carbonate is bluish green in color.
Is calcium carbonate dangerous for our environment?
Calcium carbonate is not dangerous for the environment !
Why does green copper carbonate go black?
Because it undergoes thermal decomposition. If you give heat to Copper (II) carbonate, it will decompose to form Copper (II) oxide. Instead of saying green copper carbonate, I guess it is safer and better to say copper (II) carbonate.
