接触水泥粉尘与人类的有害健康影响有关。这项研究调查了居住在水泥厂附近是否会增加眼睛和呼吸系统粘膜刺激的风险。在赞比亚Chilanga一家水泥厂附近的社区Freedom Compound和距离水泥厂18公里的对照社区Bauleni进行了一项横断面研究。分别对来自Freedom和Bauleni的225名和198名年龄在15-59岁之间的受访者进行了改良的美国胸科学会问卷调查，以捕获刺激症状。Freedom Compound的应答者更有可能经历刺激;眼、鼻和鼻窦膜刺激的校正OR分别为2.50（95% CI：1.65，3.79）、4.36（95% CI（2.96，6.55））和1.94（95% CI（1.19，3.18））。需要进行队列小组研究，以确定水泥排放与粘膜刺激和呼吸道症状的相关性，以及暴露的现场表征，以评估在Freedom化合物中观察到的粘膜刺激症状的过度流行是否是由于水泥厂的排放所致。
Exposure to cement dust has been associated with deleterious health effects in humans. This study investigated whether residing near a cement factory increases the risk of irritations to the mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory system. A cross sectional study was conducted in Freedom Compound, a community bordering a cement factory in Chilanga, Zambia and a control community, Bauleni, located 18 km from the cement plant. A modified American Thoracic Society questionnaire was administered to 225 and 198 respondents aged 15–59 years from Freedom and Bauleni, respectively, to capture symptoms of the irritations. Respondents from Freedom Compound, were more likely to experience the irritations; adjusted ORs 2.50 (95% CI: 1.65, 3.79), 4.36 (95% CI (2.96, 6.55)) and 1.94 (95% CI (1.19, 3.18)) for eye, nose and sinus membrane irritations respectively. Cohort panel studies to determine associations of cement emissions to mucous membrane irritations and respiratory symptoms, coupled with field characterization of the exposure are needed to assess whether the excess prevalence of symptoms of mucous membrane irritations observed in Freedom compound are due to emissions from the cement factory.
