Other hazards

Cement and cement-containing mixtures may irritate eyes, mucous membranes, throat and respiratory system and cause coughing. Frequent inhalation of cement and cement- containing mixtures for a long period of time increases the risk of onset of lung diseases. Repeated and prolonged contact of cement on damp skin, because of perspiration or moisture, may cause irritation and/or dermatitis. (source: supplier's Safety Data Sheet). Both cement and cement-containing mixtures and their pastes, in case of prolonged contact with skin, may cause sensitisation (because of the presence in traces of chromium salts VI); where necessary, such effect is reduced by adding a specific reducing agent to keep the soluble chromium VI content below 0.0002 % (2 ppm) of the total dry weight of the cement, in accordance with legislation referred to at point 15. In the event of significant ingestion, cement may cause ulcers on digestive tract. Under normal use, cement and its mixtures do not pose particular risks for the environment, subject to compliance with the recommendations referred to in the following points 6, 8, 12 and 13.
