Aluminium has no known biological role and its classification into toxic metals is controversial. Significant toxic
effects and accumulation to tissues have been observed in renally impaired patients.[3] However, individuals with
healthy kidneys can be exposed to large amounts of aluminium with no ill effects. Thus, aluminium is not considered
dangerous to persons with normal elimination capacity.[4]
Vanadium poisoning is notable as it is an anti-corrosive component of automotive steel,
fragments of which can be left in passengers during an automobile accident.
