Copper Applications in Health & Environment:
Copper
is your friendly neighbourhood superhero as far as its benefits are considered,
not just to the human body, but to the environment too. It is a cheap metal,
available in abundance as well as easiest to recycle. There are several
benefits of copper, here are some to our health and our environment at large:
·Copper in Health:
A
healthy human body requires trace amounts of copper to function effectively.
Copper helps with generating heat in the human body, aiding communication
between different cells, breaking down of certain foods to become hemoglobin
and boost our metabolism. Copper deficiency leads health issues like anemia,
parasitic infections and leaky gut to name a few. Foods rich in copper include
sunflower seeds, lentils, dried apricots, mushrooms among others.
·Copper in Environment:
Copper
is the friendliest metal in the environment. A good conductor of heat and
electricity, Copper is a cheap metal which is also easy to recycle, making it
the greenest natural metal. Copper is ideal for making solar panels.
Copper
is also the future of nanotechnology, it is interesting to note, that leading
IT companies, use copper to make the most powerful computer chips available. In
the past few years, copper is being used for bioleaching, a process by which
mineral ores are extracted from their sulphide ores with the help of elements
present in the environment. Copper also plays an important role in managing
hazardous nuclear fuel waste.
Truth About Storing Water in Copper Vessels:
Claims
of Copper’s antimicrobial properties have been documented since ancient times.
However, without any concrete scientific research it is difficult to ascertain
if these claims are fact or figment of our collective conscience. To bust this
myth, Sudha et al (2012) conducted a series of tests to ascertain the
antimicrobial qualities of water. Cultured Cholera bacteria was introduced to
water stored in a copper vessel for over 16 hours. Sudha et al reported after
several more tests that copper does have an antimicrobial property, as they
weren’t able to extract any samples of Cholera bacteria from the water stored
in the copper vessel, whereas, the copper content in water was within the
permissible range by the WHO standards.
Another
study carried out by the University of South Carolina reported that Copper
killed 97% of the bacteria present in ICUs, reducing the risk of contracting
hospital acquired infections by 40%. In June 2016, Natural Chemical
Biology published another study, proving that copper’s key role in
burning fat in the human body. In 2017, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
registered Copper as the only natural metal with properties to kill harmful
microbes.
Drinking Water from A Copper Bottle, Correctly and Safely:
Despite
all the benefits of copper, one must remember that copper is only required in
trace amounts in the human body. One must also remember that too much of a good
thing could also become harmful, especially, if we are talking about the
delicate balance of the human chemistry. Water makes 75% of our anatomy,
however, one cannot keep on drinking water stored in copper vessel, all day and
everyday. Here are a few tips on drinking water from a copper vessel correctly
and safely:
·Buy a
vessel or bottle made of pure copper. You can buy the same from Medlife Shop
with an assured guarantee* on the purity of the metal*. (As per
Manufacturer claims)
·Fill
the bottle with water and store in a cool dry place overnight or all day or for
8 hours.
·Do not
refrigerate the bottle.
·The
best time to drink water stored in a copper bottle, is on an empty stomach in
the morning.
·Do not
over do it, drinking water stored in a copper bottle twice a day (morning and
evening) is more than enough to provide the necessary amount of copper to your
body.
·Take
breaks from drinking water stored in a copper bottle. For example, take a month
long break after regularly drinking water stored in a copper bottle for two
months. This allows the body to flush out the extra copper.
History of Copper Vessels and Mugs:
The
ancient societies didn’t know extensively about bacteria and other harmful
micro- organisms, yet, Copper has found its way in nearly all of ancient
medical texts. The benefits and various uses of copper have been recorded
diligently in ancient texts from all over the world. Ancient Ayurvedic texts
claim that drinking water from a copper vessel cure the three doshas of the
body namely, Vata, Pitha, & Kapha by positively charging
the water. Water stored in a copper vessel for 6-8 eight hours was known
as Tamra Jal.
The
practice of throwing coins in lakes and landlocked water bodies also finds its
way back to the time when the mode of currency was copper. Ancient Indians
threw copper coins in landlocked water bodies to keep them clean and pure,
allowing to support aquatic life. The practice today has distorted, with people
blindly throwing coins made of several other metals into such water bodies,
without ever truly understanding the deep science behind cultivating such a practice.
In fact
old house in western countries, including America have copper pipes to this
date, it was believed that a glass of tap water then was enough to keep a
person healthy. Temples like Rameshwaram, still store Ganga water in large
copper vessels ensuring that the water is purified before it is offered to Lord
Shiva. Our practices however, don’t end there, most Indian households have
small copper vessels, they use for their daily pooja as well as preparing
tulsi-water which is believed to be pure and energising.

Can Drinking Water From Copper Vessels Help Manage Diabetes?
– 06th Nov 2018
The WHO
in its health reports has reported that instances of Diabetes doubled in a span
of 34 years from being around 4.5% globally in 1980 to nearly 8.4% in 2014. In
fact, the WHO has predicted that by 2030, diabetes, would be among the top
seven death causing chronic diseases. The WHO has also voiced fears that the
younger population of this century is at an increased risk of developing
diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic disease, where the body is either not able to
make or utilize insulin properly to help break down blood sugar into energy.
There
are several causes which can lead to the development of diabetes in a person,
these include lifestyle, obesity, high blood pressure, and so on. Copper vessels
have re-entered the market, as the yoga and ayurvedic movement gained momentum.
Drinking water stored in a copper vessel for over a period of 8 hours or more
has several health benefits, but there is no direct link of between drinking
water stored in a copper vessel and controlling diabetes. However, researches
have reported that copper deficiency can lead to a rise in diabetes-like
symptoms. Researchers also believe that more focused research is required for
understanding the relationship between ingesting copper activated water and
controlling diabetes.
Breakthrough: Detection of Copper in Environment Made Easy
– 6th Mar 2018
Copper
is scientifically proven to be an essential element for the well being of our
environment as well as bodies. This however, should not translate into over
consumption of copper. In trace amounts, copper benefits the human body, in
excess amounts copper is toxic for the body. The U.S. Environmental Protection
Committee has set 1.3 ppm copper (Cu2+ ) ion concentration in drinking
water as the safe limit for human intake.
This
being said, so far, the detection of the amount of copper in drinking water has
been a cumbersome and time taking task, which requires large equipment.
Recently, Dr. Lei Zheng, Dr. Hao Qu and Ph. D. candidate Can Xiong from Hefei
University of Technology, China developed a new system which would make the
same task easy, less time taking and reduce the size of the equipment involved
substantially.
Dr.
Zheng, Dr. Qu and Xiong have combined the properties of Organic electrochemical
transistors (OECT) which act as sensors and amplifiers, which have features
like biocompatibility, low cost, stability in aqueous systems, portable and
real-time sensing of ions, bacteria, cells and so on with the unusual response
of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) an
organic semiconductor, whose conductivity is increased multiple times when it
is exposed to copper (Cu2+ ) ions.
Zheng,
Qu and Xiong argue that the fabrication and application of the PEDOT: PSS OECT
would create an ultra-sensitive transistor for the detection of copper (Cu2+ )
ions. The PEDOT: PSS OECT can detect the concentration of copper (Cu2+ ) ions
for as low as 100 nm which is much lower than the standard set by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Committee, making the device cost effective, portable and efficient.
Copper Coated Uniforms to Prevent Hospital Acquired-Diseases
– 8th Mar 2018
Scientists
from the School of Materials, University of Manchester collaborated with their
Chinese counterparts in developing a technology to merge Copper (metal)
nanoparticles with Fibres (Clothes) to create a washable, diseases resistant
piece of cloth, which holds immense promise in the medical field.
In the
research paper published in Journal of Nanomaterials, the researchers explained
that this material was developed through a process known as polymer
surface grafting which creates strong bonds between the metal and
fibre parts. Researchers have used a polymer brush which can
bind fiber as well as polymer particles to copper nanoparticles which can
withstand 30 washes and more. Copper has proved to have high antibacterial
properties and this material will hopefully solve the problem of hospital
acquired diseases, which is rampant in UK.
The
composite material so created, shows resistance to E.Coli as well as S. aureus,
the latter is also known as a superbug, resistant to most
antibiotics and is generally contracted in a hospital environment, passed down
from patient to patient. It is being hoped that uniforms made of this material
will provide a safety net to patients, reducing the risk of patients
contracting these bacterial diseases from hospitals.
