2.3 Other hazards

In the presence of water, for example when manufacturing concrete or mortar, or when it gets wet, the cement produces a strong alkaline solution (high pH due to the formation of hydroxides of calcium, sodium and potassium). Frequent inhalation of cement dust over a long period of time increases the risk of developing lung diseases (above all, for repeated and prolonged exposure to dust by some types of cement-based mixtures containing siliceous components – for more details, see Subsection 15.1). Repeated and prolonged contact of cement and/or its pastes on moist skin (due to sweat or humidity) may cause irritation and contact dermatitis [Reference (4)]. Both cement and cement pastes, in case of prolonged contact with the skin, may cause sensitisation due to the presence of trace amounts of chromium (VI) salts; if necessary, this effect can be diminished by adding a specific reducing agent to keep the level of sensitising soluble chromium (VI) below the limit of 0.0002% (2 ppm) of the total dry weight of the ready-to-use cement, according to the legislation specified under Section 15.1 [Reference (3)]. If large amounts are ingested, cement may cause ulcerations of the digestive system. Under normal conditions of use, cements and cement pastes do not pose particular risks to the environment, as long as the recommendations provided in Sections 6, 8, 12 and 13 are followed. The cement does not meet the criteria for PBT or vPvB, in accordance with Annex XIII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 “REACH”.
