עבודה עם אלומיניום

האם יש סיכונים בריאותיים אמיתיים בעבודה עם אלומיניום (סרטן וכאלה?) אם כן, מה עושים ואיך אפשר לבדוק

אידי אלומיניום משמשים כטיפול תרופתי לבעייה של זהום בראות

קראתי מאמר (גוגל) שאומר שאלומיניום גורם לסרטן. אבל חלק אומרים שכן חלק שלא, רציתי לשמוע מה דעתכם ומה אתם יודעים בנושא.

תן קשורית למאמר

מצורפים מספר קישוריות. יש עוד רבות דומות. טוענים שכן Aluminum Salts May Increase Breast Cancer Risk http://www.ucsfhealth.org/adult/health_library/reuters/2006/03/20060307elin006.html http://www.cancerpage.com/news/article.asp?id=9466 טוענים שלא או אולי http://www.breastcancer.org/res_news_antiper.html http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/01/health/webmd/main1361403.shtml מה דעתך?

Metals including aluminum salts AND cadmium

צביקה מה קורה לך? ברור שזה לא האלומיניום מתכת שמסוכן ולא קדמיום מתכת שמסוכן כאן אלא המלח שלו -יוני האלומיניום הם המסוכנים והחשודים. יש האומרים מסרטן ויש הטוענים שלא חד- משמעי כמו כל דבר. יש גם חוקרים האומרים שיוני אלומיניום מעלים את הסכנה לקבל אלצהיימר לאנשים יש להם נטיה גנטית למחלה.

אלומניום מתכתי לא יכול לחדור לגוף אלא אם תעשה ממנו סכין או תנשום אבקה דקיקה שלו. מאחר ואלומיניום היא מתכת די פעילה היא תתחמצן די מהר בלחות שבגוף היא לא תוכל לנדוד בגוף ללא שינוי. מלחי אלומינים רעילים בעיקר בשל חומציותם, יסוד האלומיניום נפוץ בטבע בחרסית ובכל מיני מינרלים. בודאי שאירוסול או אבק מלחי אלומיניום עלול לגרום לפחות לנזק מקומי בדרכי הנשימה מכאן שיש להתיחס לאבק ואירוסול אלומיניום כאבק מטריד אלומיניום לא מופיע ברשימות החומרים המסרטנים\החשודים ברמות השונות .
