AbstractTwo brief cases are presented describing burns resulting from exposure to cement and its components. Of particular interest is the etiology of such burns. Do they result from a high pH solution in contact with the skin under abrasive conditions for an undetermined period of time, or are they a consequence of possible allergic reactions to chromium or chromates? Another possible factor that has been largely unexplored is the role of the calcium ion--the other principal ionic species with which the skin is in contact. Much has been written about its role in membrane transport and other physiologic processes.
