Thankfully those have been banned in the US for 40 years. Doesn’t mean you won’t get a release from an older source, of course. They are a nightmare to clean up - persistent against all manner of existing remediation technologies. At least when they are in the upper few feet of soil you can dig and haul. If they get to water-bearing strata you may never get them out.

If it turns out to be calcium chloride I'd avoid riding through it. It's highly corrosive as it's a salt that's generally equal to NaCl in its effect on metals. There are some corrosion inhibiting CaCl2 mixtures out there, but I'd still avoid getting it on my bike.

Learned it's a substance called Soil Sement (with an S) and is applied every two years. Gal on the phone said "it's safe enough to drink but we don't recommend it".........gotcha........I'm sure it's one of those things that we'll learn 30 years from now that causes cancer or forearms to grow out of foreheads Proven Dust Control and Erosion Control Solutions Midwest’s Soil-Sement family of polymer emulsions for dust control, erosion control and soil stabilization boasts more certifications and verifications for environmental safety and performance effectiveness than any other polymer emulsion.

I've used a similar polymer-based tackifying agent to limit wind loss off a mine tailings pile. This is probably safe, as we understand that term today.
It sucks that they won't tell you exactly what polymers are in the emulsion, but that's life in Corporate America.
