LOINC code78782-0
nameAluminum [Moles/volume] in Water
descriptionThe neurotoxicity of aluminum is well established, and there is ongoing research to determine whether there is an association between aluminum in drinking water and various health effects in neurological disorders, cognitive decline and dementia, or Alzheimer's disease (AD). Some findings support the hypothesis that aluminum in drinking water is a risk factor for AD. More research is needed. [PMCID: PMC2215380]
