Some interesting facts about copper

Some interesting facts about copper:



  • Copper has very powerful anti-microbial properties. For example, a stainless steel sink will contain germs for two weeks while a copper sink will be germ-free in two hours. This was confirmed by a recent EPA study and is why most hospital door knobs, handrails, etc., are made of copper or plated with brass (a copper alloy).

  • Copper often is referred to by economists as "The Ph.D Economist." It's used in everything from wiring to pipes and any fluctuation in its demand is a good indicator of the health of the economy.
