Commercially available preparations of "liquid smoke", marketed to add a smoked flavour to meat and aid as a preservative, consist primarily of creosote and other constituents of smoke. [46] Creosote is the ingredient that gives liquid smoke its function; guaicol lends to the taste and the creosote oils help act as the preservative.
[24] [25] The goal of capping is to isolate contamination, in this case creosote leakage from the initial site causing an increase in PAH, the carcinogenic hydrocarbon found in creosote. From the beginning of the capping process in 1993 to 1997, creosote was still being identified throughout the bay, spurring the construction of a containment ...
To increase the volume of creosote available for wood treatment, Southern Pacific used creosote extenders in the site's treatment process. [18] Concerns arose when it was revealed [17] that some of these extenders were sourced from what are now Houston-area Superfund sites––including Brio Refining, Dixie Oil Processors, and Motco––bringing the extender's safety and toxicity into ...
Creosote was the first wood preservative to gain industrial importance more than 150 years ago and it is still widely used today for protection of industrial timber components where long service life is essential. Creosote is a tar-based preservative that is commonly used for utility poles and railroad ties or sleepers.
The Pacific Creosoting Company, later known as Wyckoff Company, occupied the site until the 1980s, [1] and supported the community of Creosote.Government agencies estimate that 600,000 US gallons (2,300,000 L; 500,000 imp gal) of creosote still remain in the ground at the site, after more than $100 million in environmental remediation.
The American Creosote Works Superfund site is an inactive wood-treating facility in Pensacola, Florida. The 18-acre site is located about 600 yards north of the confluence of Bayou Chico and Pensacola Bay at 701 S "J" Street . [ 1 ]
Seirogan (Japanese: 正露丸, formerly 征露丸) is a pharmaceutical drug marketed in Japan as a treatment for the digestive tract (especially as an antidiarrhoeal), whose main active ingredient is "wood creosote" (also wood-tar creosote, or beechwood creosote [1]).
The residue remaining in the autoclave vessel is a dark, syrupy mass called creosote, which is composed mainly of phenolic acid and cresylic acid. The original composition of creolin is a creosote tar oil, caustic soda, soaps, and very little water. It is of low technology and a very powerful disinfectant. [1]
