Chemical pollution of the environment has become a major source of concern because of human activities. There is more and more aluminum wastes which is discharged into the environment at a high increasingly rate. In particular, many studies have investigated the impact of aluminum on biota in the environment. This review discusses the relationships between aluminum toxicity and ecological risk, especially health risk of human beings, focusing on toxicological ecology and molecular ecology. In this paper we demonstrated the impact of aluminum on environmental safety in relation to the ecological risk and health risk. In addition, the development of the techniques in treating and minimizing aluminum toxicity were discussed.
