    There is no fumes out of it at all. Wouldn’t be worried about it. Unless our were thinking of formalin

    Ya formalin is something to be treated with utmost respect.
    Zinc and copper sulphate are not that dangerous

    I understand that the solution remains potent for quite a long time and can be used over extended period, think it is not affected by manure in the mix, just keep covered to keep out rain

    It normally dries out in the footbath here or is topped up. It stays good for a long while if lying in the footbath. Mine is inside and as above I never had to trow it out.
