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.
