Abstract: Facing to the increase demand of copper and the future uses, the environmental issues of this element should be considered. From computers to electric cars and from solar panels to wind energy the predicted impact to the global climatic preservation seems to be positive. As far as the mechanical and electric properties of the metal there is no doubt everything seems to be on the good way. Oxidation of the metallic copper produce copper cation, well known for his uses in agriculture and in human life. The raised question is: It is a polluting cation? Or is a pillar of healthy life.
