Inhalation and dermal exposure of workers during timber impregnation with creosote and subsequent processing of impregnated wood.

Environmental Research, 2019
OBJECTIVES Coal tar creosote oils are used as highly effective wood protectants for, e.g., railway sleepers, utility poles and marine pilings. For impregnation of wood, the hot creosote oil is mostly applied in vacuum processes and by hot-and-cold ...

Comparison of oxidoreductive enzyme activities in three coal tar creosote-contaminated soils

Soil Research, 2019
This study used laboratory experiments to compare the effects of coal tar creosote on the activity of oxidoreductive enzymes in sandy loam, loamy sand and sandy clay loam soils. Different amounts of coal tar creosote were added to soil samples as follows:

Laboratory study of creosote removal from sand at elevated temperatures.

Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, 2018
In situ thermal treatment (ISTT) technologies have been applied at sites impacted by non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). There is a need to establish expectations for the treatment of semi-volatile NAPLs, including those consisting primarily of polycyclic

Livestock Effects on Genetic Variation of Creosote Bushes in Patagonian Rangelands

Environmental Conservation, 2018
Summary Genetic diversity is the raw material for species’ persistence over time, providing the potential to survive stochastic events, as well as climate and/or human-induced environmental changes.

Rheological behavior of water-creosote and creosote-water emulsions

Rheologica Acta, 1992
The effect of temperature on the steady-shear viscosity of two base emulsions (water-in-creosote (w/o) and creosote-in-water (o/w)) and a pigment emulsified creosote (PEC) was investigated. The PEC is a water-in-creosote emulsion which contains also a solid, micronised pigment, and is used industrially as a wood preservative.
