Pending EH&S final approval this Friday, ATI will begin on Saturday treating some of the concrete in the renovation with a product that may produce some odor. EH&S has reviewed the product and the process and have put controls in place to mitigate it's impact. It will be done in contained areas and vented to the north side of the renovation. The work, which will be done in stages through next week, will be closely monitored throughout by EH&S. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

I followed up with Eric to find out what the product is. Here's his reply:
The brand name is KilZ.

It's a primer that they'll spray over the concrete after they've wiped it down with chemical sponges to remove as much soot as possible, then they will paint over that. They are only doing this in areas where the concrete is above a dropped ceiling. The rest of the concrete will be cleaned by blasting with dry ice.
Material Safety Data Sheets for the product can be found here.
