Dicopper carbonate dihydroxide |
Last updated: 12/06/2024
|
|
(Also known as: basic cupric carbonate; copper(II) carbonate dihydroxide; copper II carbonate basic; verditer; green bice; copper(II) carbonate hydroxide) |
This is an inorganic copper-based fungicide. It has a low aqueous solubility and a low volatility. It is highly toxic to fish and earthworms. It is moderately toxic to mammals via the oral route. |
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.
