Additives and Fillers in Concrete

Additives and Fillers in Concrete

Additives and fillers are integral to enhancing the properties of concrete. Pozzolans and blast-furnace slag are additives or admixtures due to their reactions with calcium hydroxide released during cement hydration. Fillers, which are finely ground and similar in fineness to Portland cement, improve concrete attributes such as workability density, and reduce capillary bleeding or cracking. Some fillers possess hydraulic properties or participate in benign reactions within the cement paste.

Area of Science:

Environmental Chemistry
Occupational Health
Materials Science

Background:

End-of-life tyre (ELT)-derived rubber granules are widely used as infill in synthetic turf sports fields.
Concerns exist regarding potential human health risks from chemical exposure to these granules.
A Europe-wide risk assessment is necessary to address these public health concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify and quantify chemical substances present in ELT-derived rubber granules used in sports fields.
To assess the volatilization of substances from these rubber granules.
To establish a comprehensive database for informing future health risk assessments.

Main Methods:

Analysis of 86 ELT and 10 non-ELT infill samples from 14 European countries.
Chemical analysis using Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
Volatilization studies conducted in emission chambers.

Main Results:

Identified key substances including aluminium, cobalt, benzothiazole, 6PPD, and 4-tert-octylphenol in ELT granules.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were found at average concentrations below 10 mg/kg.
Volatile compounds such as benzothiazole and aliphatic hydrocarbons were detected evaporating from crumb rubber.

Conclusions:

A comprehensive chemical profile of ELT-derived infill materials was established.
The generated data is crucial for conducting reliable human health risk assessments.
This study provides foundational data for subsequent migration and exposure monitoring investigations.
