Conclusion: These results suggest that exposure to Al-NPs influences cellular signal pathways of kidney and cerebrum, and it can be a toxic indicators of nanometrials.

When ive read different studies about ZTA being safe and they all pretty much say that the wear rates are too low to induce the above effects. However what they never indicate is the potential of the wear particles to accumulate in the body over time. This is something that should be monitored long-term. Unfortunately physicians will likely blame the ailments of those who are symptomatic as being caused by some other factor. The fact still remains that Alumina, which makes up over 70% of ZTA is toxic, at least at the nano level. It poses a potential risk to the long-term health of anyone using it.

If you research Zirconia you'll find similar dangers at the nanoparticle level. However Zirconia seems to impact organs more so than brain.
