Concrete is the second largest material consumed by the human being in the world next to water. Environmental attack can severely reduce the strength and life of the concrete. In the present study a series of 5 batches of concrete were cast containing fumed silica and the material properties were determined.

Exposure to crystalline silica can occur during common construction and demolition tasks when working with concrete, bricks, mortar, tiles, stone or other masonry. If employees regularly dry cut, grind, crush, drill, sweep or demolish these materials without engineering controls in place, it is likely that the exposure standard will be exceeded.
