Copper: Showering with copper, or copper exposure at work? Sorry, I may not be reading your question correctly. If you're worried about copper in the shower, likely not a huge deal. Copper exposure at work, on the other hand, can be, especially in larger amounts. Proper equipment (respirator, clean drinking water, gloves, etc) is a good idea. You can have copper checked. Good luck!

No: No risk unless very prolonged exposure over years.
