| alum |
This is aluminum sulfate, used for "setting" internal rosin size, to impart water resistance to paper; the alum-rosin size system is " acid" sizing, and the alum is what imparts the acid character to the sheet of paper. Alum can also be used as a release agent on the paper machine to prevent wet webs from sticking to turning rolls or as a minor additive for alkaline sizing, imparting no pH change.

| aluminum |
is abundant in rocks and clays, and it can be mobilized from soils by natural weathering. Sources also include effluents from industries that use aluminum in their processing or use alum as a flocculent. Low concentrations are not a concern, but toxicity of aluminum increases if the pH of the water is less than 6.
