Overview
A number of cancers have been related to exposure to coal tar pitch. This is not surprising since the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has determined coal tar pitch to be a carcinogen. The cancers that are primarily associated with exposure to coal tar pitch include:
- Melanoma and other skin cancers
- Lung Cancer
- Bladder Cancer
- Kidney Cancer
As both a liquid and semi solid, coal tar pitch is hazardous to those who’ve been exposed over an extended period of time. It is produced in the process of the destruction of bituminous coal and common uses include those associated with the steel and aluminum industries, as well as those connected with creosote treatments. Simply because of its makeup, coal tar pitch gives off a strong odor while simultaneously releasing hazardous chemicals that have serious and long-term effects.
