Description

This Aluminium multi-purpose test kit measures not only the presence or absence of aluminium but also gives an indication of the amount in parts per million (ppm) in water, the body and a wide range of materials.

Suitable for: urine, water; to test the substances which are not in solution, preparation can be made to convert them into solution for testing, this includes dust, dirt, paint, rice, milk, food, dishes, glasses

This non-invasive Aluminium Testing Kit helps detect harmful activities within the body through urine instead of blood.

Aluminum is used in:

  • Cans and foils
  • Kitchen utensils
  • Outside building decoration
  • Industrial applications where a strong, light, easily constructed material is needed
  • Alloys are of vital importance in the construction of modern aircraft and rockets aluminum, evaporated in a vacuum, forms a highly reflective coating for both visible light and radiant heat. These coatings soon form a thin layer of the protective oxide and do not deteriorate as do silver coatings. These coatings are used for telescope mirrors, decorative paper, packages, toys, and in many other uses
  • The oxide, alumina, occurs naturally as ruby, sapphire, corundum, and emery, and is used in glass making and refractories. Synthetic ruby and sapphire are used in the construction of lasers

The amount of aluminum in the human body ranges from 50 to 150mg, with an average of about 65mg. Most of this metal is found in the lungs, brain, kidneys, liver and thyroid. Our daily intake ranges from 10 to 110mg but the body will eliminate most of this in our feces, urine and some in sweat.

The UK maximum contaminant level for Aluminium in tap water set by DWI/DEFRA is 200µg/l (= 0.2mg/l).

Effects of Aluminum:

  • Aluminum is probably the least toxic of the metals. It is not clear how aluminum interferes with activities in the human body. Acute aluminum poisoning has been associated with constipation, colicky pain, anorexia, nausea and gastrointestinal irritation, skin problems, and lack of energy. Slower and longer-term increases in body aluminum may create muscle twitching, numbness, paralysis, and fatty degeneration of the liver and kidney.
  • Aluminum may reduce the absorption of selenium and phosphorus from the gastrointestinal tract. The loss of bone matrix from aluminum toxicity can lead to osteomalacia, a softening of the bone. Skin rashes have occurred with local irritation from aluminum antiperspirants.
  • Aluminum toxicity has been implicated in the brain aging disorders. Alzheimer’s disease and parkinsons disease have both become more prevalent as the incidence of aluminum toxicity has increased. Areas with high amounts of aluminum in the drinking water are showing an increase in the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease. Although increased aluminum has been measured in the brain and other body tissues in Alzheimer’s diseases, other factors may be contributing as well.

The Aluminium Test Kit contains an easy-to-read colourchart:

Sensitivity: 0, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 ppm (mg/l)

  • 1 vial with clear cap – reagent 2
  • 1 vial with yellow cap – reagent 3
