Özet

Aluminum sulphate (Al-2(SO4)(3)) is used as a coagulant in treatment of water in many areas of the world. However, careful evaluation of the effects of aluminium compounds on health is necessary. With this aim, two doses of Al-2(SO4)(3) (10 and 20 mu g/mL) were used in human blood cultures. Apple, kiwi, melon, pear, rose hip, strawberry, tomato and watermelon juices were used as examples of foods (1 and 2 mg/mL) and their effectiveness were assessed in vitro following exposure to Al-2(SO4)(3) for the first time.
