Toxic Metal

摘要

Toxic metals such as lead, chromium, arsenic, and mercury can be incorporated into cement and concrete either through contaminated raw materials or through the addition of certain industrial by-products like fly ash and slag. These metals can pose significant health risks and environmental hazards. In the matrix of cement and concrete, toxic metals can affect the hydration process and alter the chemical and physical properties of the finished material. The binding of these metals within the cementitious materials can vary significantly, influenced by the pH, the presence of other chemical species, and the specific characteristics of the cement formulation. This interaction can potentially immobilize the metals, reducing their leachability, but under severe environmental conditions such as acidic rain or high salinity, these metals may be mobilized, leading to environmental contamination and potential health risks (Taylor 1997).
