Because of its chemical versatility and abundance in nature, aluminium is employed in a myriad of frequently used products - including cosmetics and food additives - and applications - drinking water purification procedures being an example. Despite what its widespread use might suggest, aluminium's harmlessness is a matter of debate in the scientific community. In this article we trace the lines of a growing questioning about the potential mutagenic effects of this metal, due to the data produced over the recent years, and with an eye to the discussions currently underway in this regard between the scientific community, industry, and regulatory bodies.
由于铝在化学性质上具有多样性且在自然界中储量丰富，它被用于众多常用产品——包括化妆品和食品添加剂——以及各种应用中，饮用水净化程序就是一个例子。尽管其广泛使用可能给人一种无害的印象，但铝的无害性在科学界仍是一个有争议的问题。在本文中，我们根据近年来产生的数据，着眼于科学界、行业和监管机构目前在这方面的讨论，梳理对这种金属潜在诱变效应质疑声渐高的脉络。
