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 | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:46 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 04, 2020
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. This dataset is associated with the following publications: Tegenaw, A., G.A. Sorial , and E. Sahle-Demessie. Effect of colloid-size copper-based pesticides and wood preservatives against microbial activities of Gram-positive Bacillus species using five-day biochemical oxygen demand test. Journal of Environmental Sciences. Elsevier BV, AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 105: 71-80, (2021). Tegenaw, A., G.A. Sorial, E. Sahle-Demessie, and C. Han. Role of water chemistry on stability, aggregation, and dissolution of uncoated and carbon-coated copper nanoparticles. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH. Elsevier B.V., Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS, 187: 109700, (2020).
