Section 11: Toxicological Information

Not considered acutely toxic.

Can damage the eyes, skin and respiratory system.

Portland cement and lime are caustic and abrasive to the skin. In contact with water or

moisture, they can form alkaline hydroxides, which can cause burns that may not be felt

immediately.

Portland cement may contain trace amounts of hexavalent chromium. Hexavalent

chromium can cause allergic contact dermatitis.

Respirable crystalline silica is categorized as a Health Hazard Carcinogen Category 1A

(known to have carcinogenic potential for humans) and a Health Hazard Specific Target

Organ Toxicity – Repeated Exposure Category 1. Respirable crystalline silica (quartz)

can cause silicosis, a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. There is evidence that exposure to

respirable silica or the disease silicosis is associated with an increased incidence of

Scleroderma, tuberculosis and kidney disorders.

Crystalline silica is listed as carcinogenic according to IARC. ACGIH classified

crystalline silica as a suspected human carcinogen.
