11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
11.1 Information on toxicological effects
Acute toxicity Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met.
Skin Irritating to the skin. Contact with powder or wetted form may result in irritation, rash and dermatitis.
Eye Irritating to the eyes. Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain, redness, corneal burns and possible
permanent damage.
Sensitisation Not classified as causing respiratory sensitisation. However, some individuals may exhibit an allergic
response upon exposure to cement, possibly due to trace amounts of chromium.
Mutagenicity Insufficient data available to classify as a mutagen.
Carcinogenicity This product contains crystalline silica and trace amounts of hexavalent chromium compounds which are
classified as carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1). However, there is sufficient information to conclude
that the relative risk of lung cancer from exposure to crystalline silica is increased in persons with silicosis.
Therefore preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce the cancer risk.
Reproductive Insufficient data available to classify as a reproductive toxin.
STOT - single Irritating to the respiratory system. Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, with
exposure coughing. High level exposure may result in breathing difficulties.
STOT - repeated Repeated exposure to respirable silica may result in pulmonary fibrosis (silicosis). Silicosis is a fibronodular
exposure lung disease caused by deposition in the lungs of fine respirable particles of crystalline silica. Principal

16. OTHER INFORMATION
Additional information CEMENT CONTACT DERMATITIS: Individuals using wet cement, mortar, grout or concrete could be
at risk of developing cement dermatitis. Symptoms of exposure include itchy, tender, swollen, hot,
cracked or blistering skin with the potential for sensitisation. The dermatitis is due to the presence of
soluble (hexavalent) chromium.
RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls
employed to avoid exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator
selection and training is undertaken. Remember that some respirators may be extremely
uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should
be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES:
The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this report is provided as a guide
only. Factors such as form of product, method of application, working environment, quantity used,
product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final
selection of personal protective equipment is made.
HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:
It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors
including: form of product; frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control
measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to
prepare a report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will
assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.
