If pyrite or pyrrhotite are present in the aggregate material used to make concrete, the building material itself can be compromised If water and air get into the concrete through small cracks and holes, the iron sulfides inside can begin to break down, cracking the concrete and allowing more air and water in, causing even more damage...
