Is Concrete Dust Toxic

On the toxicity of concrete dust
Civil workers in the world often encounter concrete dust. However, there are many doubts about whether it is poisonous.

Concrete dust, its formation is complicated. Contains silica, cement and other things. Silica dust, long-term contact, can cause silicosis disease. Because the lungs inhale silica dust, it is difficult to discharge itself, and it accumulates and damages the cilia and alveoli of the lungs, causing pulmonary fibrosis, and it is difficult to breathe. Cement dust is also not kind. It contains alkali and other substances, which can cause discomfort and even hurt when they touch the skin and enter the eyes.

If people have been in the environment full of concrete dust for a long time and have not been protected, the first to bear the brunt will be the respiratory system. Coughing and asthma have gradually become the norm. In severe cases, lung function is greatly damaged, and longevity is also reduced. And its entry into the body may affect the circulation and immune system, causing the body's resistance to decline, and various diseases are easy to invade.

However, if the protection is appropriate, such as wearing a mask, wearing protective clothing, and working in a well-ventilated place, the damage of concrete dust can be reduced. Workers should take it seriously, and do not take it lightly with minor harm. To protect their health, they can work in the civil industry for a long time.
