Do you know anyone who workes with creosote and has had skin cancer?

Other problems due to creosote?


(Recently diagnosed w/ rare skin cancer, especially rare for my age, and wandering if there is a possible link. I'm referring to "coal tar creosote" used to treat telephone poles and on railroads.)

Compounds of creosote can be considered Hazardous Materials. Long term exposure can cause adverse health affects.

You can review the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDs) of the product from the manufacturer and see what the results of exposure are.

Wow, you're too cute to have horrible things like that happen to you.
Tell your husband to go to UPS and get a job. Long term GOLD!

Wish I knew about what you are asking, but no.
See you in 360'ville.
