The effect of the addition of four toxic metals added as chloride solutions and suspensions to a cementitious matrix, consisting of white cement paste and mortar, was studied. To such purpose variations in the physical-mechanical properties of the cement mixes, the development of the heat over time and the evolution of the phases formed during hydration were observed. The metal elements added were cadmium, chromium, lead and zinc, because these are among the most widespread and characteristically found in industrial wastes.
