This work features a review of literature discussing the health effects of environmental and occupational exposure to aluminum (Al) and its compounds. The sources of exposure, absorption routes and metabolism are discussed in detail. The role of Al and its compounds in the etiology of some diseases, related to both environmental exposure and exposure in the work environment, is also presented. Aluminum toxicity most often affects the central nervous system, the skeletal system, the hematopoietic system, the urinary tract and the respiratory system. An increased effect of active forms of oxygen can stimulate the formation of amyloid deposits. The clinical image of aluminum smelters was dominated by ataxia, memory impairment, impaired abstract thinking and depressive states. Aluminum compounds have a detrimental effect not only on the psychic but also motor skills.

Praca jest przeglądem literatury omawiającej skutki zdrowotne środowiskowej i zawodowej ekspozycji na glin (Al) i jego związki. Szczegółowo omówiono w niej źródła narażenia, drogi wchłaniania i metabolizm. Przedstawiono także rolę Al i jego związków w etiologii niektórych chorób związanych zarówno z narażeniem środowiskowym, jak i ekspozycją w środowisku pracy. Toksyczność Al najczęściej dotyczy układów nerwowego, kostnego, krwiotwórczego, moczowego i oddechowego. Zwiększony efekt działania aktywnych form tlenu może stymulować powstawanie złogów amyloidowych. W obrazie klinicznym wytapiaczy aluminium dominowały: ataksja, zaburzenia pamięci, upośledzenie myślenia abstrakcyjnego i stany depresyjne. Związki glinu powodują zaburzenia sprawności nie tylko psychicznej, ale również motorycznej.

Energy production and storage has become a pressing issue in recent decades and its solutions bring new problems. This paper reviews the literature on the human and environmental risks associated with the production, use, and disposal of increasingly common lithium-ion batteries. Popular electronic databases were used for this purpose focused on the period since 2000. Assessment of the toxicological and environmental impact of batteries should then have a holistic scope to precede and guide the introduction of appropriate safety measures. In this short review the authors will try to touch upon this complex subject and point out some important issues related to an unprecedented development of lithium ion batteries-powered world. Given the multi-billion dollar business with the risks associated with the development of new technologies requires careful consideration of whether the balance of profits and losses is beneficial to humans and the planet.
