Abstract
In order to recommend the levels of copper concentration in fresh water which will not adversely affect various water uses, a literature survey was carried out on the toxic effects of copper and copper compounds on human health, laboratory animals, aquatic life, terrestrial plants, and livestock. The information is summarized in this paper.Keywords
