CHALCOSIS is due to the deposition of which metal in tissue?
The presence of copper deposits in the tissues is called chalcosis. It is due to the chronic poisoning by copper. Copper may be deposited in the cornea resulting in a pigmented ring in the deeper layers. It may occur in workers with the metal due to inhalation of dust or from food being contaminated with verdigris. Ref: The Essentials of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology 29th Ed Page 491.
