About this file
This document is a detailed safety and environmental certification report for DUST BOND® concentrate, thoroughly tested and evaluated by multiple federal agencies including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA), and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's Public Drinking Water Division. The document provides comprehensive testing results demonstrating the product's safety across multiple environmental and health dimensions.
The report substantiates DUST BOND® concentrate's non-hazardous, non-toxic, and non-polluting characteristics through rigorous scientific testing. Specific testing criteria included Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP), Volatile Compounds testing, inhalation and oral toxicity studies, and dermal irritation assessments. Key findings include zero detectable EPA-regulated hazardous waste chemicals, no volatile compounds exceeding parts per billion limits, no solvents or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and no Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs). Laboratory animal testing showed no mortality or significant adverse effects at high concentration levels, with the product demonstrating safety for drinking water proximity, air quality, and potential accidental exposure scenarios.

NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE
DUST BOND® concentrate, when tested by
Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure
(TCLP), revealed “no detectable” limits of
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) regulated chemicals for hazardous waste. DUST BOND® Concentrate is considered non-hazardous by the EPA and DOT and has not been assigned a
Hazard Class, Hazard Identification
Number, or Hazard Waste Number.
NON-TOXIC TO DRINKING WATER
DUST BOND® Concentrate was subjected to VOLATILE COMPOUNDS – Method
8260 testing, as suggested by the Ohio
Environmental Protection Agency, Public
Drinking Water Division, to determine if it was safe to use within close proximity of a public drinking water source. This revealed acceptable results, as none of the sixty additional volatile compounds searched for exceeded the parts per billion limits of the test. DUST BOND® is non-toxic to drinking water.
NON-POLLUTING TO AIR
No solvents are used in the formulation of
DUST BOND®. This is evidence by TCLP which shows that DUST BOND® contains no
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) usually found in solvents. DUST BOND® contains none of the substances listed in the Superfund Amendment &
Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III, sec
313. DUST BOND® contains no Hazardous
Air Pollutants (HAP’s) and no Ozone
Depleting Substances (ODS’s) regulated under the Clean Air Act. DUST BOND® is non-polluting to air.
NON-TOXIC – ORALLY
The toxicity of an ingested substance is known as the “oral toxicity”. This measurement is expressed as a value known as the “LD-50”. This stands for the lethal dose 50%, or the amount of a substance, in proportion to the animal’s body weight, that must be consumed to kill
50% of the test animals in a study. High
LD-50 values indicate lower toxicity or safer products.
The U.S. Consumer Products Safety
Commission (CPSC) rates consumer products with oral LD-50 values of more than 5000 mg/kg as non-toxic.The
Occupational Safety and Health Agency
(OSHA), in its Hazard Communication
Standard (HCS), rates products with oral
LD-50 values of more than 500 mg/kg as non-toxic. As further comparison, the
Environmental Protection Agency rates pesticides with oral LD-50 values of more than 5000 mg/kg to be low concern.
Testing was performed with undiluted concentrate on laboratory animals at 16,000 mg/kg. All animals survived. Further testing was considered unnecessary, even though the actual oral LD-50 was not determined, it is obviously somewhat higher than 16,000 mg/kg. DUST BOND® is non-toxic orally.
NON-TOXIC - INHALATION
concentrate on two groups of laboratory animals at 31,000 ppm for one hour and two groups at 881 ppm for one hour. During the
14 day observation period, all animals exhibited normal weight gains and no anatomical abnormalities were observed.
None of the animals died at either dosage. It is reasonable to conclude that DUST
BOND® is non-toxic if inhaled.
NON- IRRITANT – DERMAL
concentrate on laboratory animals. All had a dorsal area shaved, abraded, and painted with concentrate for 24 hours. Observation at 24 and 72 hours revealed a primary irritation score of 1.0, which is too low to be
