O uso do cimento e argamassa de cal na construção civil e riscos prejudiciais à saúde

Abstract

Some of the main materials used in construction, cement and lime mortar, are used in the execution of services such as wall smearing. This service has been performed by employees with many years of experience in the job. It was analyzed in a group of collaborators who perform this type of function in a particular work, its health, the analysis of possible risks that can be performed, if not use or misuse of the PPE. The present work will address the risks associated with the use of cement and lime mortar in civil construction. We aim to highlight not only the importance of cement - as the main raw material of civil construction - but also to alert the risks and pathologies associated with these materials and their chemical compositions, such as diseases that occur through direct contact with the skin and mucous membranes, or by respiratory inhalation, also the importance of PPE to employees.
