Sources of Aluminum Toxicity and How to Avoid It

Toxic metal poisoning can occur after overexposure to a variety of metals, including aluminum, which is a common metal used in many aspects of modern life. Aluminum toxicity occurs when an individual ingests or breathes higher than normal levels of aluminum. Since aluminum is the most bountiful metal in Earth’s crust, avoiding it is close to impossible and probably not necessary. But exposure to high levels of aluminum can cause health issues. Contact your physician if you have concerns about aluminum toxicity. Chelation Health Products offers a variety of chelation products that safely and effectively remove heavy metal toxins from the body. 

If aluminum is so commonly found in our environment because it occurs naturally in our food, soil, air, and water, what are the causes of aluminum toxicity? Aluminum toxicity can occur when an individual drinks or consumes liquids and foods that already contain a high level of aluminum. Contaminated air might be breathed at a workplace where aluminum is used or if an individual lives in an area where aluminum is mined or processed. Poisoning might occur if someone lives near an area that contains hazardous waste materials high in aluminum or if they live or work in an area that has an unusually high concentration of aluminum. 

Some factors that make you more susceptible to aluminum poisoning include having kidney disease, ingesting substances that are high in aluminum, working in an environment that has high levels of aluminum, and living in a dusty environment, among others. Symptoms of aluminum poisoning include muscle weakness, bone pain, bone fractures, seizures, speech problems, muscle weakness, and slow growth in children.
