Association between Aluminum and Silicon Concentrations in Isfahan Drinking Water and Their Health Risk Assessments

Conclusions: The significant correlation between Al and Si concentrations suggests that Si can eliminate Al in water, and probably it might do the same in the body. The health risk of Al intake from tap water was negligible, it was assessed in an acceptable range with an HI value of less than the standard levels. The health risk of Si remained unknown due to lack of information regarding its toxicity and adverse health effects.Keywords: Aluminum, chronic daily intake, correlation, hazard index, silicon
