Fine Silica Dust- It might surprise you to know that concrete and cement dust contains silica. If you don't know much about silica, in dust form, it's deadly. Silica dust is one of the biggest killers of construction workers, second to asbestos.

Those risks could be abated by just wearing a mask while you enjoy your activities outside.
Sorry probably have more knowledge about cement companies than you. Family started company making block in 1920s, eventually opening and today owns 4 sites operating soon to add 5th. So from the time I could walk have been spent summers at job sites, offices, lunch and after work with drivers, family gatherings ( family owned and operated), and at the plant. So I don’t have to read anything about cement I got to live it.
