Due to its structure, autoclaved cellular concrete exhibits good insulating properties with relatively high compressive strength values. It is increasingly used in construction because of its economic attractiveness. Autoclaved cellular concrete is mainly used in interior structure layers, and therefore its potential exposure to heavy metal leaching from the matrix may be related to the presence of a high pH medium from other materials in the structure. The effectiveness of the immobilization of hazardous substances potentially occurring in the concrete structure depends on many factors, including the charac-teristics of the raw material input and the conditions of material maturation. This study investigated the immobilization level of potentially hazardous substances in cellular concrete available on the Polish market. The leaching of heavy metals from the aforementioned materials, using different media and environments for the exploita-tion of potential future building blocks was also discussed, as well as the possibility of using advanced spectroscopic techniques in this type of study.
