can someone here tell me the uses of copper sulfate and the hazards plus the risks thank you :P
Copper sulfate is a fungicide. It is put on grapes etc. to kill fungus. It is also used (very dilute) to kill parasites on fish in aquariums. It kills algae in swimming pools. It is used in ponds to kill plants. It has several lab uses -- standard tests for sugars, for proteins, for anemia in blood. Risks -- anything that kills algae and fungi at low doses can kill other things at higher doses. When treating fish, low doses are necessary or you kill the fish. If you take enough of it in, it can poison you. It was once used as an emetic but is now thought to be too poisonous to be used for that.
