Abstract :
Aluminum is a toxic metal and cause pollution in soil, water, and air. Afterwards, a lot of patients suffer renal failure due to the accumulation of aluminum in the tissues of kidneys. Also, high concentration of aluminum in plants tissues makes agricultural food toxic. Therefore, measuring aluminum in water, soil, air, human organs, tissues of plants and each food (or agricultural product is so necessary for protecting human healthy. In this paper, the analytical methods which have been applied for measuring the amount of aluminum from 1970 to 2019 are focused on. Also, the effect of some parameters such as pH and temperature on decrease or increase in the amount of aluminum in water and other samples are stated. Ultimately, it is worthwhile to mention the analytical methods which are more time-consuming, cost-effective, applicable, and precise for determining the amount of aluminum now. In this review, the analytical methods such as fluorimetric, ICP-MS, colorimetric, graphite furnace/flame atomic absorption spectrometry, etc. which have been applied for measuring the amount of aluminum (especially Al+3) in environmental and human biological samples are assessed.
