The major part of copper is extracted from its ores. It is one of the few metals that occur in directly usable metallic form. As per the US geological survey, copper is the third-most consumed industrial metal in the world. Copper is widely used in electronics and wiring as it is a very good conductor of heat and electricity. 

Added to that copper is an essential nutrient of our body. It is needed to include copper in the diet. Copper is a vital mineral required for forming red blood cells maintaining the immune system and the nerve cells. The deficiency of copper in our body can affect the body’s functionality and may cause cardiovascular diseases.

Bacteria Killing on contact property of copper

• Copper does actually have very potent antibacterial properties
• Now in hospitals, there are many successful trials where they replace touch surfaces — door handles, light switches — with copper or copper alloys,
• If bacteria come into contact with the surface they die really rapidly. It’s called contact killing

• The earliest recorded medical use of copper is from around 4,500 years ago, where it was described as being used to sterilize wounds and drinking water
• Before we had antibiotics — before we even knew what bacteria were — we already knew that copper had this ‘magical quality that stopped diseases,” says Assistant Professor Djoko
