Creosote

Creosote is the catchall name for several substances, including wood creosote, coal tar, coal tar creosote, coal tar pitch and coal tar pitch volatiles. Its main use to humans is as a preservative treatment for wood; it is near-ubiquitous in outdoor telephone poles and railroad ties. However, coal tar products are also used in roofing, pavements, metal refining, and to treat psoriasis and head lice. Exposure to large amounts can cause chemical burns on the eyes, kidney and liver damage, even death; long-term exposure to small amounts is known to cause eye and respiratory damage, skin cancer and cancer of the scrotum. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has said that coal tar is carcinogenic and creosote is probably carcinogenic. Creosote is heavily regulated in the European Union.
