Abstract
Aluminium (Al), abundant in Earth's crust, but not found in biochemical systems of plants, animals and humans become
increasingly widely used because of its properties. Al accumulates in the body in different ways from various sources such as
food, cosmetics, water, vaccines, in the latter being used as an adjuvant. The scientific world brings more and more data
about the negative effects on humans and animals, both to the nervous system and to the immune system. Neurotoxic and
immunotoxic effects are correlated with genetic susceptibility, thus explaining their relatively low incidence.
