3 May 2024 - Copper sulfate hazard information upgraded

Copper sulfate is now considered to cause 'eye damage'. Previously, it was considered to cause 'severe eye irritation'. According to the GHS, 'irritation' is reversible, but 'damage' is not. Take special care when handling solid copper sulfate and its concentrated solutions to avoid eye contact. Safety glasses should be worn. We recommend that you update the labels for copper sulfate and its solutions.
