CALCIUM HYDROXIDE (Ca(OH)2)
In the industry Ca(HO)2 is used as an alkali.
It is obtained when calcium oxide is mixed, or "slaked" with water.
It is used in sugar refining. It is also used as an ingredient in whitewash and mortar in buildings. It is also sometimes used as filler.
It is also used in the petrochemical industry it is used for manufacturing solid oil of many marks.
It is used to make ebonite (a cheap alternative for wood)
An ingredient in baby formula milk.
In Native American and Latin American cooking, calcium hydroxide is called "cal". Corn cooked with cal becomes nixtamal which significantly increases its nutrition value, and is also considered tastier and easier to digest.
Native Americans also traditionally chewed tobacco leaves with calcium hydroxide derived from burnt shells to enhance the effects.
In manufacturing the trademarked compound "Polikar", is an anti-fungal (Anti fungi) and antimicrobial preservative for vegetables in storage.
As a flocculent, in water and sewage treatment and improvement of acid soils.
It has been proposed to add Calcium Hydroxide to sea water in great quantities to reduce atmospheric CO2 and fight the greenhouse effect.

Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
You might want to divide and state the compounds that made up Calcium Hydroxide, its common name, the common usage for it, the industrial usage and the hazards of exposure to Calcium Hydroxide. Also the treatment if any. Group it up into paragraphs to make it clearer for readers.
I'm not sure I understand what this is. Is this an actual paper that you are going to submit? If it is, I suggest putting in more detail and putting things into paragraphs. If not, then, I believe that all the information is accurate.
