SECTION II - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation, Skin, Ingestion
Acute Exposure: Product becomes alkaline when exposed to moisture. Exposure can dry the skin, cause
alkali burns and affect the mucous membranes. Dust can irritate the eyes and upper respiratory system.
Toxic effects noted in animals include, for acute exposures, alveolar damage with pulmonary edema.
Chronic Exposure: Dust can cause inflammation of the lining tissue of the interior of the nose and
inflammation of the cornea. Hypersensitive individuals may develop an allergic dermatitis.
Carcinogenicity: Since Portland cement and blended cements are manufactured from raw materials mined
from the earth (limestone, marl, sand, shale, etc.) and process heat is provided by burning fossil fuels, trace,
but detectable, amounts of naturally occurring, and possibly harmful, elements may be found during chemical
analysis. Under ASTM standards, Portland cement may contain 0.75 % insoluble residue. A fraction of
these residues may be free crystalline silica. Respirable crystalline silica (quartz) can cause silicosis, a
fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs and possibly cancer. There is evidence that exposure to respirable silica or the
