Collodal-Copper based pesticide and wood preservatives against microbial acitivies

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: June 27, 2025 | Last Modified: 2020-08-04
Copper-based pesticides and wood preservative fungicides could end up in the environment during production, use, and end-of-life via different pathways that could cause unintended ecological and adverse health effects. This research provides the effect of colloid-size Cu-based pesticides (), micronized Cu azole (MCA-1 and MCA-2) and alkaline Cu quaternary (ACQ) treated woods, ionic Cu, ionic Cu spiked untreated wood (UTW), and CuCO3 solutions against Gram-positive Bacillus species using five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) standard test.
