Creosote

Creosote is a cancer-causing chemical compound used in wood treatment and preservation. Creosote was used widely in treating raw lumber - such as in telephone poles and railroad ties - and high levels of exposure to the compound have been connected to skin cancers and potentially to other major organ cancers and heart disease.

Reports describing poisoning in workers exposed to coal tar Creosote, or in people who accidentally or intentionally ate coal tar Creosote, indicate that even brief exposure to large amounts of coal tar Creosote may result in a rash or severe irritation of the skin, chemical burns of the surfaces of the eye, convulsions and mental confusion, kidney or liver problems, unconsciousness, or even death. Longer exposures to the vapors of the Creosotes, coal tar, coal tar pitch, or coal tar pitch volatiles can also cause irritation of the respiratory tract.

The law firm of James F. Humphreys & Associates builds cases against the manufacturers of Creosote for exposing their employees and others to the dangerous material. These manufacturers have been informed of the dangers of Creosote and our firm will not allow them to put profit-making before you and your loved one's health.
