Detrimental effects of cement mortar and fly ash mortar on asthma progression

Highlights • We analyzed the emission pattern of NH3 and VOCs from mortar and mortar with fly ash at different time points after manufacture. • We investigated the mortar effects on the respiratory system. • OPC mortar with fly ash induced more detrimental respiratory symptom effects than the OPC mo...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We analyzed the emission pattern of NH3 and VOCs from mortar and mortar with fly ash at different time points after manufacture. • We investigated the mortar effects on the respiratory system. • OPC mortar with fly ash induced more detrimental respiratory symptom effects than the OPC mortar. • OPC mortar only or OPC mortar with fly ash may be a negative factor exacerbating asthma.
