Many articles discuss the possible dangers of using Berillium. However much more likely to me is the risk of getting poisoned with CuO, the most frequently used conductor in electronics. If you have Cu, and there is oxigen in the air or in the water, isn't there a good chance to get CuO ?? I am particularly interested because I use an 'electronic` sterilizer for my swimming pool. A current through a pair of underwater copper electrodes, dissolves Cu-ions into the water. There they form Cu(OH)2 that sterilizes the water (no chlore needed anymore). Is there no danger with this method. Couldn't get an answer from a chemist yet ! Greetings from Belgium Pascal Roobrouck E-Mail prob@sh.alcbel.be
