Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation: Yes Skin – eyes Yes Ingestion: No, except in accidental cases 2.3 Human health Inhalation: Frequent inhalation of large quantities of cement dust over a long period of time increases the risk of developing lung diseases. Eyes: Eye contact with cement (dry or wet) may cause serious and potentially irreversible injuries. Skin: Strong alkaline solutions in contact with the skin tend to damage the nerve endings first before damaging the skin, therefore chemical burns can develop without pain being felt at the time. Hence, prolonged skin contact with wet cement, fresh concrete or mortar may cause serious burns.
Environmental hazards
Under normal use, the product is not expected to be hazardous to the environment.
