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 disease silicosis is

associated with an increased incidence of Scleroderma, tuberculosis and kidney disorders.

SECTION VI – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES If spilled, use dustless methods (vacuum) and place into covered container for disposal (if not contaminated or wet). Use adequate ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. SECTION VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE Do not allow water to contact the product until time of use. DO NOT BREATHE DUST. In dusty environments, the use of an OSHA, MSHA or NIOSH approved respirator and tight fitting goggles is recommended.
