| CEMEX neighors find heavy metals in dust
by Joanne Irwin, The Old Lyons Recorder
January 1st, 2007
Neighbors within a half-mile of the CEMEX Lyons Cement Plant have found heavy metals in the dust on their cars, porches and inside their homes. These heavy metals are typically found in cement kiln dust, a fine, toxic dust that is one potentially hazardous pollutant released from the CEMEX plant. This dust can also burn skin, lungs and sensory organs. |

Cemex, the Mexican-owned company that stands as the largest cement manufacturer in North America and owns a cement plant just outside of Lyons, is sending harmful chemicals into the Front Range's air. |
