Natural Resources: Aluminum Bianca Quattrocchi Mike Ditizii Mike DeSomma Mike Gibson

How is this Resource used in the United States? O Aluminum is the second most used metal. O Transportation  Motorcycle  Airplane parts  Auto parts  License Plates O Packaging  Foil  Trays  Candy/gum wrappers

Continued O Building and construction  Siding  Roofing  Gutters  Window frames

The environmental consequences of extracting Aluminum O A huge amount of electricity is used to make the final product in the Aluminum process. O The releasing of perfluorocarbons during the aluminum process are 9,200 times worse then carbon dioxide in terms of global warming O Particulates also released during processing compromise air quality. O Higher aluminum concentration cause effects on fish, birds and other animals. O Aluminum may accumulate in plants and cause health problems for animals that consume these plants.

More Environmental Consequences O Aluminum can take place through food, through breathing and by skin contact. O Revealingly up taking significant concentrations of aluminum can lead to serious health effects, such as: O - Damage to the central nervous system O - Dementia O - Loss of memory O - Listlessness O - Severe trembling

The cultural consequences of extracting this product O Aluminum toxicity causes many symptoms in humans O Mimics Alzheimer’s disease O Extreme nervousness and headaches O Anemia and decreased kidney and liver function O Memory loss and speech problems O Softening of bones and aching muscles

What industry is doing O The Aluminum association working with the DOE is working together to make greater gains in reducing energy O The aluminum association has strategically administered pollution control efforts to help decrease aluminum toxicity O Many projects also trying to help are under the DOE’s “Industries of the Future” program

RankCountry/RegionAluminium production (thousands of tonnes) metric tons — World44,100[3] 1China People's Republic of China 18,000[3] 2Russia 4,000[3] 3Canada 2,970[3] 4United States 1,990[3] 5Australia 1,930[3] 6 United Arab Emirates 1,800[3] 7India 1,700[3] 8Brazil 1,410[3] 9Bahrain 870[3] 10Norway 800[3] 11South Africa 800[3] 12Iceland 790[3] 13Mozambique 560[3] 14Iran 460 [4] 16Germany 450[3] 15Argentina 400 Where we get it from

What we think O There should be a cleaner and more productive way to make aluminum O Keep supporting the DOE using less amount of energy O Keep supporting the aluminum association trying to get rid of the pollution.
