The EPA Restricted Use Pesticides listing lists creosote as having
oncogenic effects (capable of producing tumors) and mutagenic effects
(capable of mutating DNA & causing cancer). *A political movement? *Do

No, but I assume as with all products it would vary with each
individual. *Some may never be affected and other's could be affected

I suggest you check the references that 'aussiblu' posted. Much more
valid than the opinions of the people who pushed for the ban.
