Copper Levels in Human Tissue
1976
Normal copper levels in human tissue are listed. The variation of these levels in hair and skin in the population is shown to be of a similar order to that of the individual over a period of time. The copper levels found in tissues from a person poisoned with copper sulphate are compared with those from normal subjects, industrially exposed subjects and people with Wilson's disease. The most certain indication of over-exposure to copper is the finding of hair root copper concentrations which are significantly above those in the hair shaft.
