Is Cupric Hydroxide (CAS: 20427-59-2) safe?

Cupric hydroxide is generally considered safe when handled properly, but it may cause skin and eye irritation. Inhalation of its dust can be harmful, so protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and a dust mask should be used. It is classified as a substance with low acute toxicity but should be kept away from children and not ingested. Safety standards recommend following OSHA and EPA guidelines for its use and disposal.
