Alasfar &amp; Rima J. Isaifan, Published July 2021</p><p>Abstract</p><p>The concern about aluminum (Al) toxicity has been proven in various cases. Some cases are associated with the fact that Al is a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/neurotoxic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neurotoxic</span></a> substance that has been found in high levels in the brain tissues of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/alzheimers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alzheimers</span></a> disease (AD), <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/epilepsy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>epilepsy</span></a>, and autism patients. Other cases are related to infants, especially premature infants and ones with renal failure, who are at the risk of developing the central nervous system (CNS) and bone toxicity. This risk is a result of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/infants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infants</span></a>’ exposure to Al from milk <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/formulas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>formulas</span></a>, intravenous-feeding solutions, and possibly from aluminum-containing vaccinations. Furthermore, most antiperspirants contain aluminum compounds that raise human exposure to toxic Al. This review paper is intended to discuss in detail the above concerns associated with aluminum, and hence urges the need for more studies exploring the effects of overexposure to Al and recommending mitigation actions.</p><p>Some "anthropogenic sources of aluminum are <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/toothpaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>toothpaste</span></a>, vaccination, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antiperspirants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antiperspirants</span></a>, and some drugs, including buffered aspirin and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antacids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>antacids</span></a> (Crisponi et al. 2013). Currently, there is a great concern that human exposure to toxic aluminum from numerous sources is raising the potential for harmful health effects. Aluminum has been recently associated with neurotoxicity (Klotz et al. 2017). Hence, in the following sections, the paper discusses the impacts of aluminum on human health based on several cases reported in the literature."</p><p>The paper goes on to say that, "the human body is dermally exposed to Al by applying antiperspirants and cosmetic products (de Ligt et al. 2018). Specifically, aluminum chlorohydrate is an important ingredient present in many antiperspirant brands to treat hyperhidrosis (de Ligt et al. 2018). The frequent use of these items means that Al is accumulated in the body (Borowska and Brzoska 2015). As mentioned previously, Al is a toxic metal which has been linked to AD and other neurological disorder, and in the long-term contributes to bone toxicity. Hence, measuring the concentration of Al in antiperspirants and cosmetics and how much absorbed by the skin is of great necessity to ensure safe dermal use of these products. Unfortunately, there are only very few studies concerned with dermal exposure to Al (Corkins 2019; de Ligt et al. 2018; Freundlich et al. 1985; Weintraub et al. 1986)."</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AluminumPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AluminumPollution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ToxicChemicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ToxicChemicals</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BodyShaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BodyShaming</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BodyOdor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BodyOdor</span></a> </p><p>Read more: <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11356-021-14700-0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">link.springer.com/article/10.1</span><span class="invisible">007/s11356-021-14700-0</span></a></p>
