Concrete consists of natural materials: water, sand, gravel and cement. While cement doesn't naturally occur, it is made from limestone, clay, sand and iron ore, all-natural materials. As a result, concrete is porous, just like any other natural material. It absorbs anything that makes its way to its surface.
