“…Among these, in approximate order of decreasing popularity, are aluminon (21), Eriochrome Cyanine R (22), Alizarin Red S (23) and hematoxylin (24). Comparison studies (21,24) of these reagents favor aluminon, but no single one of these is sufficiently superior to warrant exclusion of the others.…”

The review of over 800 references on aluminum (Al) published since the mid-fifties covers the occurrence of Al in soil, air, water, plants and food products, as well as air and water pollution problems. In addition, the existing quality criteria, the biology and toxicology of Al, and the therapeutic and medical uses are presented. It is concluded that absorption and retention or accumulation of Al in humans occurs at lower levels of intake than had been assumed formerly. However, levels of 5 to 50 times the normal daily intake do not appear to interfere with other metabolic processes. The adverse effects of Al reported in the more recent years resulted from the inhalation or ingestion of Al in concentrations many times greater than the amounts present under normal circumstances. As in the past, there is still no need for .ncern by the public or producers of Al or its products concerning hazards to human health derived from well established and extensively used products.

“…Direct reading spectrographs are now used in place of the time-consuming photographic plate method (34,35). Absolute detection limits of 106 to 108 g are regularly reported for Al (23,35,37) (absolute detection limits meaning minimum detectable amounts introduced to arc).…”

“…The work of Mellon and his associates on colorimetry and color systems is of great importance (147, 189-191, 268, 276-279). Cholak and Hubbard have made numerous studies in the field of colorimetric determination of metals in biological materials (60)(61)(62)(63)(64), including the determination of microgram quantities of cadmium, zinc, aluminum, lead, and mercury. The work of Sandell on trace analysis (324, 326-328) is of primary importance, and the studies of organic reagents and their colorimetric and spot test applications (419-421, 423, 424 , 426), conducted by Yoe and his associates, are of great value.…”

MICROCHEMICALanalysis can be considered to include the sampling, separation, detection, and estimation of minute amounts of material, regardless of the techniques employed. Quite properly, emission spectroscopy, polarography, chromatography, and similar techniques, which are fields within themselves, fall under the broad classification of microchemistry. For the present paper, however, a limitation of scope is made to prevent overlapping with other reviews, and the reader is referred to such other reviews to complete the orientation on progress in the general field of microchemistrv.The review of inorganic microchemistrv does not include, except for isolated cases, papers on light microscopy, electron microscopy, nucleonics, polarography, fluorescence, or electro-

“…The quartz Minusil-5 has been documented to adsorb up to 11 mg of aluminium per 100 mg Minusil-5. The aluminium fixation was verified by: grazing incidence electron diffraction technique [45] which documents altered surface diffraction of quartz particles by aluminium treatment; colourimetric titration of aluminium in the Si-Al sample with ammonium aurintricarboxylate (11 mg% vs 0 mg% in untreated silica sample) [48][49][50]; modification of solubility of quartz [45]; haemolytic activity on sheep red blood cells which was 93% with untreated Minusil-5 and 0% with treated Minusil-5 [51,52]; electron spectroscopy for chemical analyses (ESCA) which documented the surface location of aluminium [53].…”

Recent advances in the pathogenesis and clinical assessment of mineral dust pneumoconioses: asbestosis, silicosis and coal pneumoconiosis

Recent investigations of the fundamental mechanisms of the mineral dust diseases have substantially increased our understanding of the pathogenesis of the pneumoconioses. In all the mineral dust pneumoconioses, the initial early lung lesion is a fibrosing macrophagic alveolitis. The additional contribution of other lung cell populations is currently under investigation and may identify specific processes for each of the pneumoconioses. Clinical investigations have also progressed with new tools such as Gallium-67 lung scanning, bronchoalveolar lavage analyses, and CT scanning of the thorax; their established values are reviewed in this paper, and areas where progress is needed are considered. The clinical progress in the mineral dust diseases is clearly linked to the basic understanding of the mechanisms of these diseases.
