Boric Acid + Copper Sulphate + Water + Heat = any dangerous reactions?

Featured Replies

Hello! I am a man far from chemistry, and I kind of regret being not very attentive in chem class during my school years. Does combination "Boric Acid (100 ppm) + Copper Sulphate (1 ppm) + Water (about 1000 litres) + Heat" produces any reactions that could harm a human? Thank you in advance!

Dunno, what are you going to do with it?

Sounds like an odd sort of greenhouse disinfectant, but you could easily drown in 1000L of water.

...suggests fumes, which may be harmful if inhaled or comes in to contact with skin/eyes/mouth.

At parts per million the chemicals won't do much.
But as Studiot mentioned, there are dangers involved; don't burn yourself with the 'heat', or drown in the water.
