[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4268300, member: 5412"] I have seen they are incorporating different fillers in concrete now. Seashells have been used for a zillion years, but now I think it's bamboo, and some other fillers. For the record, my dad used his bare arm to smooth out some concrete under a giant diesel generator one time because they had no tools to get in there. He almost lost his arm from infection after that. This is why. Hazardous materials in wet concrete and mortar include: [LIST] [*]alkaline compounds such as lime (calcium oxide) that are corrosive to human tissue [*]trace amounts of crystalline silica which is abrasive to the skin and can damage lungs [*]trace amounts of chromium that can cause allergic reactions. [/LIST] Smoothing that concrete, forced that stuff into his skin. Can it leach into the enviroment? I have no clue. [/QUOTE]
