What are The Health Effects of Aluminum? NCERT Class 10

The Health Effects of Aluminum - NCERT Class 10

Aluminum is a widely used metal that is also one of the most abundant substances in the earth's crust. Aluminum is typically viewed as a nontoxic material, although excessive levels may pose health risks if inhaled. The water-soluble version of aluminium causes the harmful effects. Aluminium ions are most typically observed in aluminium solutions containing other ions, such as aluminium chlorine.


Aluminium can be absorbed by food, inhalation, and skin contact. Long-term exposure to high quantities of aluminium can result in a variety of health issues, including:

  • Loss of memory
  • Listlessness
  • Severe trembling
  • Damage to the central nervous system
  • Dementia
Aluminum is a health issue, especially in industrial settings like mines where it can be found in the water. People who work in industries where aluminium is utilised in the manufacturing process may develop lung problems if they breathe in aluminium dust. Aluminum may cause difficulties in kidney patients if it enters the body during renal dialysis.

Inhalation of finely divided aluminium and aluminium oxide powder has been associated to pulmonary fibrosis and lung injury. This effect, known as Shaver's Disease, is exacerbated by the presence of silica and iron oxides in the air we breathe, and it may be linked to Alzheimer's disease.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
