Opis

Aluminium is the most abundant metal ion in the biosphere and we are continuously exposed to it in our everyday life through things like food, beverages, and pharmaceutical products. This book is a review of the biochemistry, metabolism and toxicity of aluminium undertaken by an international group of authors, who are authorities in their respective fields. The text is primarily directed at aluminium nutrition and toxicity in infants and children. It covers many aspects of aluminium toxicity in infants including, for instance, the embryo-foetal as well as the neurodevelopmental effects of this element, contamination of pharmaceutical products, and individual sensitivity through vaccines using aluminium as an adjuvant.
