I confirm, c is mega carcinogenic.
T have any interest has a max ventilate your attic.
The posts held longer than you, t is children and following.
If the creosote was recalling walking c is not without reasons.
C was planned for the exterior wood, but especially not for inside.
Until you change the frame can cover the timber with oil to
Flax additioner of scicatif. 5 or 2% max if I remember well.
Must See on embalage, c is indicated.
Without scicatif the oil will not cure, because in principle between the sun n not
too ds your attic. it is the UV that cause this polymerisation
(C I think is the right term)
The oil covering the wood treated with creosote, the latter will prevent it from
poluer the media.
C is the technique that I've used to treat my barriers, are just that
as they are outside al must put a layer each year.
Passing the problem is the same with the railway galls.
C is not a good idea to ac above the fireplace.
Parrait even that it is a guaranteed cancer.

Other excerpts: Wood re Beware treated with creosote
Despite strict regulations, the sector of recovery of such wood treated for non-industrial applications remains high.
Creosote, used to protect the rails and wooden poles (SNCF, EDF), is classified as a carcinogen because of its polyaromatic hydrocarbon content.
This is why a warning against the reuse sector, at the limit of legality, is made (a European directive prohibits reuse of creosote for wood for domestic use).
Indeed, many of these treaties and wooden sleepers are still reused by architects or individuals for external works (retaining walls, fence stairs ...).
To address this growing problem, the CTBA is going up, with the support of ADEME, a die for the impregnated wood (creosote, copper, chromium, arsenic).

Restrictions on the use of creosote, deemed dangerous substance. Creosote is a preparation that can be used in particular for the preservation of wood .The Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and Environment (CSTEE) highlighted the carcinogenic nature of this preparation, and the fact that it exceeds the limits of the existing legislation, which has led the Commission to adopt a directive prohibiting the sale to consumers of creosote for wood preservation. The ban, which also covers wood treated with creosote, will apply no later than June 30 2003 (press release of October 26 2001).
