Narrative

In the course of an outage a section of exhaust duct was removed from Kiln No. 1. During the refractory bake-out combustion gases were released into building 405. The next day a Calcines filter floor operator reported that he had a headache and became disoriented, and after going home and sleeping felt like he had a hangover.
