Streets, sidewalks, walkways and roadways are continually being upgraded and repaired in our nation’s cities. We need this work to be completed, and fast, because there are chances of slipping, tripping and falling in and on cracked walkways and roads, as well as sidewalks. If the roadways and sidewalks were never attended to, there would be large potholes, that are dangerous for pedestrians, motorists, motorcyclist and bicyclists. But the cities do initiate repairs, and these roadways eventually get fixed. The only problem is: while they are in a state of repairs, the asphalt, cement and tar are a sticky, tripping and slippery hazard for people walking in the area, and for cars riding in these regions.
What Are the Hazards Related to Wet Undried Asphalt, Cement and Tar Areas?
Many people come into contact with wet undried asphalt, cement and tar, and have no idea of the dangers of these substances. These substances and composites are dangerous for being near them and inhaling their dangerous fumes, and are also dangerous to drive on them, walk on or near them, or be around them in any way. The materials used to fix roads are meant to last for decades, and that is why these composite materials are strong and sturdy. But they are also chemically based, and not meant for humans to smell the fumes, inhale the dangerous compounds, or slip and fall on the composite chemicals while they are drying.
The composites used to repair the roads include many carcinogenic materials that are known to be hazardous to the health of humans. Some of the more dangerous road repair materials include:
- Coal tar
- Coal tar pitch
- Coal residue
- Coal tar pitch volatiles
- Polycyclic aromatic compounds
- Crushed gravel silt
- Slag
- Penetration macadam
- Liquid asphalt
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
- Viscous liquid asphalt prime coats
- Slurry seal
- Seal coat
- Fog coat
- Tack coat
- Surface treatments
- Surface coat aggregates
- Liquid asphalt cement

Road Working Compounds of Asphalt, Cement and Tar Are Extremely Hazardous Materials to Humans
The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs are dangerous environmental contaminants. These materials are made from bitumen, fillers, fibers, aliphatic amines and binding chemicals to make the road materials bind together to repair the roads. Bitumen is a by-product of heavy crude oil distillation residues, which are heavy in nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic compounds and benzo pyrenes. What is so dangerous about these compounds, is that they are made of seriously caustic chemicals and compounds. These derivatives can get into your lungs, and cause serious damage there from smelling and inhaling the sealants, compounds, liquid asphalt and cement, and tar derivatives.
Why Are PAHs So Dangerous to Humans?
The reason that PAHs are so extremely hazardous to humans, is that they create dangerous gasses whether the materials are hot, warm or cold. The fumes and vapors are able to get into a person’s lungs, and damage the lung tissues. Depending on the weather, how warm it is outside and how hot the materials when poured, it can be a recipe for hazardous disasters for anyone breathing in these fumes. The particulate matter in these materials used to perform road repairs can damage skin, create respirable crystalline silica, and can cause fatal lung disease from the dust and ventilation issues associated with road and sidewalk repairs.
Cement products are high risk products as well, and wet concrete can quickly react with a person’s skin if the individual falls into wet concrete, to cause irritants to the skin, affect the mucus layers of the eye and deprive the skin of its necessary natural moisture. The concrete can cause skin irritations, and serious allergic reactions as well, if a person slips and falls onto wet or undried concrete. The risk is dying from silicosis, which is a disease which is characterized by exposure to unventilated undried concrete, and there is no cure.
