Description
Alum (aluminium sulphate) is used in the clarification process of raw water for drinking. A recent study of Sydney drinking water shows that alum treatment increases the proportion of soluble to insoluble aluminium species. Soluble forms of aluminium are toxic. This study shows diet is a prominant determinant of aluminium bioavailablity from drinking water.
