Aluminum cannot be destroyed in the environment, it can only change its form.
In the air, aluminum binds to small particles, which can stay suspended for many days.
Under most conditions, a small amount of aluminum will dissolve in lakes, streams, and rivers.
It can be taken up by some plants from soil.
Aluminum is not accumulated to a significant extent in most plants or animals.
