Copper and the environment? Please help!?

Can you tell me anything about copper and the environment. Like pollution and how it affects the air, water and soil. Just anything. Thanks!

Answer:

Copper is poisonous so, if you have copper compounds that are water soluble, too much will kill fish and plants. Some uber-aquarium afictionadoes intentionally add just enough copper compound to their aquariums to keep the algea from growing but not too much to kill their fish.
