Other hazards

Some susceptible individuals may exhibit an allergic skin response upon exposure to Portland Cement, possibly due to trace amounts of chromium Prolonged exposure to Portland Cement in the wet form can cause serious, potentially irreversible skin or eye damage in the form of chemical burns. The same serious injury can occur if wet or moist skin or eyes have prolonged contact exposure to dry Portland Cement. Frequent inhalation of dust material over periods of time increases the risk of developing silicosis and lung disease. Contains Calcium Oxide. Forms Calcium hydroxide when mixed with water, which has a corrosive effect on eyes and skin.
