What are the side effects of inhaling concrete dust?

Answer 1

Not likely. While breathing concrete dust and soot is not good for you, harmful effects generally would come from prolonged exposure over a period of months of breathing high dust levels. Next time, visit the hardware store for a disposable respirator and a small spray bottle. Use a mist of clean water to hold down the dust, and the respirator to keep from breathing it. While we can't make a medical diagnosis, your symptoms sound more like the flu. Go see a doctor.
