Therefore, hair Cu levels have been used as an indicator of copper status, particularly in infants [ 53, 58].
Copper is used heavily by industry and in home and office construction, so the shape of the economy is perceived as an indicator of copper demand.
Two leading economic indicators such as the Baltic Dry Index and Copper are both stating the global economy is far from healthy.
The patterning of associations with copper, an indicator of brake wear, and to a lesser extent zinc, an indicator of tire wear, and silicon, a correlate of road dust, may also suggest health impacts of PM10 2.5 from traffic.
Peel strength, the indicator of adhesion strength between copper foil and epoxy composites, was tested on all the specimens of different curing conversions, and the results showed a maximum value at curing conversion between ca. 90 and 95%.
Both the material footprint and the indicator for acidification assess primary copper as the material with the highest impact of the chosen materials.
On the basis of a modified positive matrix factorization analysis, we used copper as an indicator of brake wear, zinc of tire wear, phosphorus of agriculture, and silicon of soil and road dust (Sturtz et al. 2014).
Of course, the effect of CuNG on different organs of normal animals is not a good indicator of its utility as copper homeostasis is disturbed in drug resistant cancer bearing animals [ 38].
Heavy metal accumulation in plants can serve as an indicator of soil contamination; chromium, copper, and zinc have been transferred to and accumulated in the roots and leaves of peanut plants grown in soils contaminated with those metals (Ching et al. 2008).
The diagnoses of the patients were based on the presence of classical copper-related biochemical indicators (plasmaceruloplasma<200 mg/l and/or serum copper oxidase<0.20 OD, 24 hour urine copper excretion ≥100µg (1.56µmol), and/or liver copper concentrations>250 ug/g on needle biopsy) and the presence of Kayser-Fleischer rings around the iris.
