SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Trace minerals added to animal feeds. These substances added to animal feeds as nutritional dietary supplements are generally recognized as safe when added are levels consistent with good feeding practice. Element: Copper; Source compound: copper carbonate. (All substances listed may be in anhydrous or hydrated form.)

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.|SRP: Local exhaust ventilation should be applied wherever there is an incidence of point source emissions or dispersion of regulated contaminants in the work area. Ventilation control of the contaminant as close to its point of generation is both the most economical and safest method to minimize personnel exposure to airborne contaminants.

Drug Information

MEDICATION (VET): ANTHELMINTIC AID IN SHEEP

Rats were fed a diet contain basic cupric carbonate, at doses of 0, 70, 220, 670 and 2,000 ppm as cupric hydroxide and 12 months, the levels of copper in the blood and tissues were determined by atomic absorption analysis. At the same time, fluctuations in the levels of iron and zinc, which are essential elements, were determined in the tissues. Levels of copper, iron and zinc in blood were practically unchanged after feeding for 12 months at the highest dose, 2000 ppm. Copper in the liver increased markedly at doses of 670 and 2000 ppm from 1 month, and the level reached about 50 times that of the control group. The level of copper in the kidney significantly increased at larger doses than 670 ppm. Iron concentration in the kidney did not change at smaller doses than 220 ppm, but significantly decreased at higher doses than 670 ppm. The level of copper in the kidney increased only at the highest dose. /Basic cupric carbonate/
