Is burning copper dangerous
wrote in message ... Is burning copper dangerous? I am asking because I was camping and tossed some copper dust in the fire to make the flames colorful. The flames were really nice, but some drunken guy in the next camp was having a fit about it, saying that burning copper emits dangerous fumes that when breathed are toxic and of course, according to him, ALL the smoke was going his direction. The stuff is sol commercially with no particular warnings. OTOH, inhaling any smoke is not good as it contains particulates. |
