Are cement fumes toxic like paint or gas fumes?

Hi. Are cement fumes toxic like fumes from gasoline or paint? I'm only worried about neurotoxicity...Are cement fumes toxic like paint or gas fumes?
Before water is added, cement can be a throat irritant if you breath the dust, but will do no permanent harm. If you have special reason for this concern, ask the concrete company for what is called the MSDS sheet. They have to provide this to you.Are cement fumes toxic like paint or gas fumes?
no they are not at least no one has discovered that they are . the fine dust that goes around when making concrete is not good for the lungs but once mixed there is not any dust so no worries there.
No but when working with cement, the pH is really high when is being mixed. This can cause a rash if you are in contact with it for long periods of time. The good news is that this rash can be prevented by washing with vinegar.


But again, as long as nothing toxic is mixed with it, no toxic fumes will be given off.
No.
Not at all!!
Cement doesn't give off fumes, just dust. The dust if it gets in your lungs can cause some problems.
NOT CONCRETE PEOPLE, the adhesive and yes it will screw you up big time.
