Abstract

Copper, a malleable and ductile transition metal, possesses two stable isotopes. These copper isotopic composition data have recently found diverse applications in various fields and disciplines. In geology, copper isotopes serve as tracers that aid in investigating ore formation processes and the mechanisms of copper deposits Likewise, it has emerged as a valuable tracer in polluted environments. In plant biology, copper acts as an essential micronutrient crucial for photosynthesis, respiration, and growth. Copper isotopes contribute to understanding how plants uptake and dispense copper from the soil within their tissues. Similarly, in animals, copper serves as an essential trace element, playing a vital role in growth, white blood cell function, and enzyme activity. In humans, copper acts as an antioxidant, neutralising harmful free radicals within the body. It also helps in maintaining the nervous and immune system. Furthermore, copper isotopes find medical applications, particularly in cancer diagnostics, neurodegenerative diseases, and targeted radiotherapy. However, excessive copper can have detrimental effects in humans such as it can cause liver damage, nausea, and abdominal pain, whilst in plants it can affect the growth of plants, photosynthesis, and membrane permeability. This review emphasises the significance of copper and its isotopes in geology, the environment, and human health.

铜及其同位素:概述其在地质学、环境系统和人类健康方面的影响。
铜是一种具有延展性和韧性的过渡金属,拥有两种稳定的同位素。最近,这些铜同位素组成数据在各个领域和学科中得到了广泛应用。在地质学中,铜同位素是一种示踪剂,有助于研究矿石形成过程和铜矿床的机制。在植物生物学中,铜是光合作用、呼吸作用和生长所必需的微量元素。铜同位素有助于了解植物如何从土壤中吸收铜并将其释放到组织中。同样,在动物体内,铜也是一种重要的微量元素,在生长、白细胞功能和酶活性方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在人体中,铜是一种抗氧化剂,能中和体内有害的自由基。它还有助于维护神经和免疫系统。此外,铜同位素在医学上也有应用,特别是在癌症诊断、神经退行性疾病和靶向放射治疗方面。然而,过量的铜会对人体产生有害影响,如导致肝损伤、恶心和腹痛,而在植物体内则会影响植物的生长、光合作用和膜渗透性。本综述强调了铜及其同位素在地质学、环境和人类健康中的重要性。

期刊介绍: Isotopes in Environmental and Health Studies provides a unique platform for stable isotope studies in geological and life sciences, with emphasis on ecology. The international journal publishes original research papers, review articles, short communications, and book reviews relating to the following topics: -variations in natural isotope abundance (isotope ecology, isotope biochemistry, isotope hydrology, isotope geology) -stable isotope tracer techniques to follow the fate of certain substances in soil, water, plants, animals and in the human body -isotope effects and tracer theory linked with mathematical modelling -isotope measurement methods and equipment with respect to environmental and health research -diagnostic stable isotope application in medicine and in health studies -environmental sources of ionizing radiation and its effects on all living matter
