| Abstract | As part of a research project on Alzheimer's disease and aluminium in drinking water, this article discusses chemical considerations relative to aluminium uptake in the body and reviews aluminium concentrations, species and distribution in natural and treated (in particular by alum coagulants) waters. The issue of bioavailability and the likelihood that aluminium in drinking water is more readily assimilated than other forms of aluminium is reviewed and rejected based on issues of solubility and likely chemical transformations that take place in the human gut. |
