ABSTRACT
Occupational exposure to aluminum can be associated with increases in both urinary aluminum excretion and serum aluminum. In most studies, the increases in urinary aluminum are proportionately greater than the changes in serum aluminum. A similar pattern of response follows increases in dietary aluminum intake. Thus, there is ample evidence for systemic aluminum absorption from occupational exposure to airborne aluminum as well as dietary intake. Although both circumstances are accompanied by a similar renal response, there is little information explaining how normal kidneys augment renal excretion with only trivial changes in serum aluminum concentrations. In addition, it is not understood how airborne exposure to microgram amounts of aluminum produces significant increases in urinary aluminum. The latter observation suggests the presence of a sensitive uptake process for aluminum from airway exposure.
