76 THE RELATION OF SELECTED TRACE ELEMENTS TO HEALTH AND DISEASE A thorough analysis offorms, levels, availability, release, and uptake from recycled waste desperately needs evaluation before widespread adoption of the practice of feeding high levels of copper to swine leads to irreversible damage. Atmospheric Fallout High levels of copper and molybdenum from atmospheric fallout, causing plant injury, have occurred (Patterson, 1971; Cannon and Anderson, 1971 )
