Volume 35 of the IARC monograph states that <br />there is limited evidence that coal tar derived creosotes are carcinogenic in humans and sufficient evidence for the <br />carcinogenicity of creosote in experimental animals. Limitations in the human exposure studies reviewed by IARC <br />(including the presence of other chemicals, small study populations and not well documented exposure levels) <br />contributed to IARC's conclusions regarding human exposure to creosote. When applied to the skin of mice in <br />experimental studies, creosote produced skin tumors and in one study produced lung tumors. Most available <br />information on the effects of coal tar creosote in humans comes from older occupational studies in the wood - <br />preserving and construction industries. Today, with the use of engineering controls and personal protective <br />equipment, occupational exposure to creosote components is expected to be below permissible exposure limits <br />(measured as Coal Tar Pitch Volatiles). Wood dust is particles of varying size produced from processing or handling <br />wood. Cancer of the nasal cavities and sinuses is associated with exposure to hardwood dust.
