CHEMICAL DIFFUSION THROUGH CONCRETE
A Study Showing That Concrete Is Highly Porous, Allowing
the Penetration and Diffusion of Chemicals

Preamble
This study has been created in order to demonstrate clearly that available and
reputable scientific studies and industry experience highlight the fact that concrete
slabs upon which residences are situated are extremely porous, and to the extent
that almost any chemical situated under or next to the slab will be absorbed by theslab.
I have produced this study to specifically emphasize that it is much more than
probable that the synthetic pyrethroid termiticide Biflexthat was applied around,
and immediately next to, the concrete slab under myDepartment of Housing (DOH)
unit located at BLIGH PARK(north-west Sydney), on the 7th
December 2000, diffused
through that slab and outgassed into my unit as vapor for at least 1 years after
application (the period in which I could overtly smell an organic, kerosene-like odor
inside my unit). The presence, then, of the pesticide vapor in the living space of my
unit resulted in the production of a series of extremely distressing poisoning
symptoms over that period of time and beyond in both myself and my 8 year old
child, and also in my neighbour (whose unit shares the same concrete slab as mine).
At the very least, the gaseous solvent portion of the termiticide compound entered
my unit via the foundation slab. Note that only just before my trial against the
Department of Housing, which started in November 2010, I discovered that the
builders of the unit had dumped unused concrete around the perimeter of the units
foundation slab. This concrete dump (which was joined to the slab) was
immediately under where the Biflex pesticide was pumped during its main 7th
Dec.,
2000 application of hundreds of liters. See the following photos for evidence of this:

Discussion
1. First, what is concrete?
Concrete is a heterogeneous material constituted of a rigid skeleton with sand and
aggregates embedded into a porous hydraulic binder. A hydraulic binder as Portland
cement is a finely ground material which is first in a plastic and workable state on
mixing with water and then reacts with water to form hydrates responsible for the
rigidity. The concrete behavior is linked to the evolution of the cementitious matrix
which can be considered as permanently aging material. Concrete is therefore the
site of chemical, mechanical and physical events like hydration, moisture transfer or
shrinkage that can cause premature cracking before any external loading occurs
(Lamour, Haouas & Moranville [online]).
Also:
Concrete is a porous material. Therefore, moisture movement can occur by flow,diffusion, or sorption (Advanced Cement Technologies [online]).

Concrete structures are thus highlighted as porous, ageing, and the site of
mechanical and chemical events.
2. How open or consistently spread are the pores or spaces inside
concrete, and do these pores affect the concrete in any way?
Concrete contains two types of pore: capillary and gel pores.
Capillary pores (approx) 1,3 um in size are the largest and form an interconnected
system, randomly distributed throughout the binder, which provides a fairly direct
path for aggressive ions. Gel pores on the other hand comprise some 28% of the gel,
but are much smaller than capillary pores, and do not play a significant role in the
permeability of the paste. However, they do have an impact on time dependent

movements in concrete, such as shrinkage and creep (Eagle Cement (Natal Portland
Cement) [online]).
Also:
The presence of capillary pores and air voids influence concrete permeability to a
large extent. The ingress of aggressive agents into the pore structure is responsible
for various durability problems in concrete structure. The deterioration of concrete
in a structure is a result of several degradation mechanisms that [cause a decrease]
in the integrity of the structure. The state of deterioration is often invisible and is
only evident when there is a significant reduction in the load carrying capacity
(Sutan, Hamdan and Jin, 2002 [online]).
So, concrete, by its very nature, is porous. As well, concrete may then deteriorate
with chemical reactions of unhydrated cement and water, C 3A and chloride ions,
carbonic ions and calcium silicate hydrates (Watanabe [online]).
Further: Slab failures from caustic attack, in particular, can reduce the service life
of slabs down to as little as five years, with most slabs providing an average life of
only ten years, even though some predict a service life of 40 years with the
application of current best practice (CSIRO 2001 [online]).
There exist products designed specifically to take advantage of the porosity of
concrete. One such product is named Xypex, which is designed to penetrate and
react with the mineral constituents of cement-based materials. It can be applied on
concrete, concrete-block, cement stucco or the mortar between bricks (Xypex
Chemical Corporation 2002a [online]).
What is Xypex?
XYPEX is a non-toxic, chemical treatment for waterproofing, repair and protection of
concrete from a range of aggressive media, uniquely generating a non-soluble
crystalline formation deep within the pores and capillary tracts of concrete (Xypex
Chemical Corporation 2002b [online]).
Xypex is therefore designed to penetrate concrete in order to prevent the concrete
from allowing such penetration of fluids. Without this protection concrete would be
open to the ingress of any pesticide put in the soil next to or above/around the
concrete. Conceivably also, pesticide sprayed in the air would also move into
concrete structures.
3. By what process does Xypex penetrate concrete?
Why must the concrete be wet prior to a XYPEX application?
The active ingredients in XYPEX penetrate the concrete by a process of chemical

Murray Thompson August 2004 CHEMICAL DIFFUSION THROUGH CONCRETE 4
diffusion in which chemicals in a highly concentrated solution (the XYPEX slurry
mixture) will spread through a solution of lower density (water in the pores and
capillaries of the concrete) until the two are equalized (Xypex Chemical Corporation
2002a [online]).
The above quote implies that water may be found inside a concrete slab, and that
this water offers a transmission route for chemicals to move via the agency of
chemical diffusion. Note what modern research on Diffusive Pollutant Transport has
to say about chemical diffusion:
The objective of controlling the hydraulic conductivity is clearly one of limiting
advective contaminant transport (ie the movement of contaminants with moving
water) through the liner. However, despite more than a decade of research and
the existence of good supporting field data, it is only recently that it has been
generally recognized that there is a second contaminant transport process which will
occur even through a very low hydraulic conductivity clay liner: that process is
chemical diffusion. ...diffusion may be the dominant contaminant transport
mechanism in a wellconstructed clay liner. Furthermore, contaminants can escape
from a waste disposal site, by diffusion through a liner, even if water flow in the liner
is into the landfill (Rowe,1994:219) (emphasis added).
Note too:
Baroghel-Bouny (1994) among others showed that water transport occurs in porous
cementitious materials through different modes: vapor diffusion, liquid water and
air pressure driven transports (Lamour, Haouas & Moranville 2004).

Note also McGrath (2000 [online] who shows that large amounts of water can move
through concrete (even apparently dry concrete) in a vapor, gaseous or dissolved
ion state (in any direction, depending on flow direction dynamics set up by cooling
and heating cycles) from a region of high concentration or high chemical potential
through to low concentration or low chemical potential via diffusion. He clearly
shows that concrete cannot keep out anything unless it is treated:
On the largest scale water or chemicals may move through cracks, rock pockets,
construction joints and other large defects or joints in the concrete structure. This
scale of flow is of primary importance with respect to waterproofing and involves
keeping water out or in....
It is therefore clear that chemicals can be transported through concrete in either a
liquid or vapor form.
4. Can pesticide, specifically, enter a residence via a concrete slab?

Note that the Healthy Home Association recognizes that soil around foundation
slabs is host to substances that are drawn into residences via the lower internalair
pressure gradient typical of homes. Further, the Association recognizes that these
substances enter the slab via pores in the concrete structure of the slab. However,
what are these substances? Soil gas, radon, biological decomposition gases and
PESTICIDE!(2003 [online]). Note:
Pesticide moisture flow upwards through the concrete slabs by vapor diffusion and
capillary transmission passes through the top surface of the concrete slabs as well as
through floor surface treatments (carpet, tile, wood floors) and leads to un-healthy
contamination problems.
Today's almost airtight buildings let in little fresh air and draw from the ground more
"soil gas", rich in moisture and vapors from pesticides below ground. Pores in
concrete draw in water by capillary action. The average (slab) lets in over (10)
gallons of water each day, several times more than showering and cooking
combined! (ibid.).
As well, so readily does the building industry accept that pesticides can penetrate
concrete slabs, that the XYPEX Product Features brochure entitled: UndersealTM
XT
750 Positive Side Vertical Waterproofing Membrane with Built-in Protection Board,
lists its products property, test method, and results (English and Metric) as:
Resistance to Penetration by Pesticides, ASTM F- 2130 percentage of
penetration, and 0.0 % 0.0%, respectively (Polyguard Products Inc. 2003 [online])
(my emphasis).
If cautions regarding the use of mildewcides in buildings are advocated in United
States product literature, then why are they not advocated by government
bureaucracies that deal directly and intimately with dwellings and tenants, such as
the DOH in Australia? Where does the DOH tenant fit into what should be an
ethical discussion in terms of chemical applications in and around a tenants home?
Are tenants worthy of consultation at all, especially given as in my case that I
had already made it patently obvious to the DOH prior to moving into my DOH unit
that I suffered from chemical sensitive asthma? Now in going back a step to the US
situation, note:
Safe Encasement Systems believes that the use of a coating that contains a
potentially harmful or poisonous substance such as an EPA-registered pesticide
http://herbalhungry.herbalhub.com.au/7/29/2019 Pesticide Diffusion Through Concrete

Murray Thompson August 2004 CHEMICAL DIFFUSION THROUGH CONCRETE 6
(mildewcide) is a step that should be taken only after extensive consideration and
discussion with all parties involved (Safe Encasement Systems Midwest 2001).
Concrete slabs are well known to soak up water and chemicals from their surrounds,
readily.
5. Can organic chemicals enter a residence any other way?
Recent investigations have found that organic chemicals may contaminate drinking
water by permeating buried plastic pipes and gasket materials... Many lipophilic
compounds tested were found to permeate to a detectable level in consumers tap
water within a month at one third of their aqueous solubilities. It was also found
that PB [polybutylene] was more permeable than low-density polyethylene to
toluene and that chlorinated hydrocarbons permeated PB faster than unchlorinated
hydrocarbons. Gasoline compositions such as benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, andxylenes appeared to be highly permeable to PB and gasket material (Park, Bontoux,
Holsen, Jenkins & Selleck 1991).
The Pesticides Act (1999) obviously needs a significant overhaul in order for it to
take into account the duel imperatives of the concept of Chemical Trespass and
basic human rights (the right to be notified of a chemical application). This is, in fact,
currently a task being undertaken by the Australian Chemical Trauma Alliance (ACTA)
in South Australia, which is making a submission to the DEC (old EPA) in respect to
prior notification rights for pesticide applications under the NSW Pesticide Act(Personal email, Mr. Don Want, 16
thMay 2004).

As well, given that the reliability of concrete slabs is essentially an unknown factor
when chemical pesticide barriers are applied around a residence, building codes
also need to be seriously addressed. Slab integrity needs to be tested for porosity
before any decision to introduce a toxic nerve agent to a human habitation is made.
