2. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID
EMERGENCY INFORMATION: Cement kiln dust is a gray or tan powder. When in contact with moisture in eyes or on skin, or when
mixed with water, cement kiln dust becomes caustic (pH>11) and may damage or burn (as
severely as third degree) the eyes or skin. Inhalation may cause irritation to the moist mucous
membranes of the nose, throat, and upper respiratory system or may cause, or may aggravate,
certain lung diseases or conditions. Use exposure controls or personal protection methods
described in Section 10.
EYES: Immediately flush eye thoroughly with water. Continue flushing eye for at least 15 minutes,
including under lids, to remove all particles. Call physician immediately.
SKIN: Wash skin with cool water and pH-neutral soap or mild detergent and apply skin cream to help in
replacing lost moisture. Seek medical treatment if irritation or inflammation develops or persists.
Seek immediate medical treatment in the event of burns.
INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial
respiration. Seek medical help if coughing and other symptoms do not subside. Inhalation of large
amounts of cement kiln dust requires immediate medical attention.
INGESTION: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, have the victim drink plenty of water and call a physician
immediately.

TRACE INGREDIENTS:
Due to the use of substances mined from the earth鈥檚 crust, trace amounts of naturally occurring, potentially harmful constituents may be detected
during chemical analysis may contain up to 0.75% insoluble residue. A small amount of this residue includes free crystalline silica. Cement kiln dust
also may contain trace (<0.05%) amounts of chromium salts or compounds (including hexavalent chromium) or other metals (including nickel
compounds) found to be hazardous or toxic in some chemical forms. These metals are present mostly as trace substitutions within the principal
minerals. Other trace constituents may include potassium and sodium sulfate compounds.
5. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: NOTE: Potential health effects may vary depending upon the duration and degree of exposure. To reduce or
eliminate health hazards associated with this product, use exposure controls or personal protection methods as
described in Section 10.
EYE CONTACT: (Acute/Chronic) Exposure to airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation of the
cornea. Eye contact by larger amounts of dry powder or splashes of wet cement kiln dust may cause effects
ranging from moderate eye irritation to chemical burns and blindness.

SKIN CONTACT: (Acute) Exposure to dry cement kiln dust may cause drying of the skin with consequent mild irritation or more
significant effects attributable to aggravation of other conditions. Discomfort or pain cannot be relied upon to
alert a person to a hazardous skin exposure.
(Chronic) Dry cement kiln dust coming in contact with wet skin or exposure to wet cement kiln dust may cause
more severe skin effects, including thickening, cracking or fissuring of the skin. Prolonged exposure can cause
severe skin damage in the form of chemical (caustic) burns.
(Acute/Chronic) Some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to cement kiln dust. The
response may appear in a variety of forms ranging from a mild rash to severe skin ulcers.
INHALATION: (Acute) Exposure to cement kiln dust may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes of the nose, throat
and upper respiratory system. Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases may be aggravated by inhalation
of cement kiln dust.
(Chronic) Inhalation exposure to free crystalline silica may cause delayed lung injury including silicosis, a
disabling and potentially fatal lung disease, and/or cause or aggravate other lung diseases or conditions.
INGESTION: (Acute/Chronic) Internal discomfort or ill effects are possible if large quantities are swallowed.
CARCINOGENIC POTENTIAL: Cement kiln dust is not recognized as a carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, or IARC. However, it may contain trace
amounts of heavy metals recognized as carcinogens by these organizations. In addition, IARC classifies
crystalline silica, a trace constituent, carcinogenic to humans (Group I). NTP has characterized respirable
silica as "known to be a human carcinogen." (See also Section 13.)

8. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY DATA
STABILITY: Product is stable. Keep dry until used.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Unintentional contact with water. Contact with water will result in hydration and produces (caustic) calcium
hydroxide.
INCOMPATIBILITY: Wet cement kiln dust is alkaline. As such, it is incompatible with acids, ammonium salts and aluminum metal.
9. PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING, STORAGE, AND DISPOSAL
HAZARDOUS
DECOMPOSITIONS: Will not occur.
HANDLING AND STORAGE: Keep dry until used. Handle and store in a manner so that airborne dust does not exceed applicable exposure
limits. Use adequate ventilation and dust collection. Use exposure control and personal protection methods as
described in Section 10.
SPILL: Use dry clean-up methods that do not disperse dust into the air or entry into surface water. Material can be used if
not contaminated. Place in an appropriate container for disposal or use. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with
skin and eyes. Use exposure control and personal protection methods as described in Section 10.
DISPOSAL: Comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations for disposal of unusable or contaminated materials.
Dispose of packaging/containers according to local, state, and federal regulations.
10. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to control dust levels below applicable exposure limits. Minimize
dispersal of dust into the air.
If local or general ventilation is not adequate to control dust levels below applicable exposure limits or when dust
causes irritation or discomfort, use NIOSH approved respirators.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles to avoid contact with the eyes. In extremely dusty environments
and unpredictable environments, wear tight-fitting unvented or indirectly vented goggles to avoid eye irritation or
injury. Contact lenses should not be worn when handling cement or cement-containing products.
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear impervious abrasion-and alkali-resistant gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirt, long pants or other protective
clothing to prevent skin contact. Promptly remove clothing dusty with dry cement kiln dust or clothing dampened
with moisture mixed with cement kiln dust.
