Biological Monitoring of Aluminum

  • Chapter
Biological Monitoring of Toxic Metals

Part of the book series: Rochester Series on Environmental Toxicity ((RSET))

  • 212 Accesses

Abstract

It is only 100 years since a practical procedure for the large scale production of aluminum was developed. Since that time, aluminum has found applications in construction, electrical equipment, furnishings, transportation, containers, pharmaceuticals, and many other items encountered in daily life. Exposure to aluminum is unavoidable since it is the third most common element in the Earth’s crust, and industrial use is in the tens of millions of tons per year.
