Re: Living in a creosote house
Inhalation exposure (particularly napthalene) poses a major carcinogenic risk to residents living in a house with creosote treated joists, girders, piers etc. We have published several works on our studies of a creosote treated house in Los Angeles (this was around 2004 I believe) refer to www.mehler.com/creosote2.html. We measured polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon in structural wood and indoor residential air and did a risk analysis for cancer based on our results.

Re: Living in a creosote house
I had a client die in a house made with foundation and framing coated with creosote. She smoked and had mold in the DUCT work. I wonder what killed her. I was told by the Son she died of cancer.

Re: Living in a creosote house
Creosote was never intended for interior residential applications.
If what you are seeing is actually creosote it is unfortunate for the home seller. Joseph P. Hagarty joseph.hagarty@comcast.net Main Line Inspections, Inc.
