Does fly ash in any form present any health issues?
As with any fine material, care should be taken when handling fly ash to prevent dusting and reduce exposure to inhalation. In most cases, fly ash poses no greater danger than ordinary Portland cement, or finely ground brick powder. In all cases, as a matter of good housekeeping, workers should wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
