Further information

When cement reacts with water a strong alkaline solution is produced. Prolonged contact with wet cement or wet concrete may cause serious burns because they develop without pain being felt e.g. when kneeling in wet cement even when wearing trousers. Frequent inhalation of large quantities of cement dust over a long period of time increases the risk of developing lung disease.
