PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY: THE DANGERS OF COAL TAR SEALANTS

As property owners in the Spokane region look to maintain their driveways and parking lots, it is vital to understand the serious environmental and legal implications of using coal tar-based sealants. While once a common industry standard, coal tar is now recognized as a significant hazard to human health and local ecosystems.

WHAT IS COAL TAR?

Coal tar is a byproduct of coking coal and contains high concentrations of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, commonly known as PAHs. These chemicals do not stay locked in the pavement. Over time, the sealer weathers and grinds into a fine dust that is easily tracked into homes or washed into our local storm drains and the Spokane River.

THE HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS

Exposure to coal tar dust has been linked to several serious concerns:

1. CARCINOGENIC PROPERTIES: The high level of PAHs in coal tar is classified by the EPA and international health organizations as a known human carcinogen.
2. INDOOR CONTAMINATION: Studies have shown that homes adjacent to coal tar-sealed lots have PAH levels in house dust that are significantly higher than those with asphalt-based coatings.
3. AQUATIC TOXICITY: When rain washes coal tar particles into our waterways, it becomes toxic to fish and aquatic life, damaging the delicate balance of our regional river systems.

THE LEGAL STATUS IN WASHINGTON STATE

It is important for Spokane residents to know that the sale and application of coal tar pavement products are strictly prohibited. Washington was the first state in the nation to pass a comprehensive ban on these materials.

STATE LAW: Under RCW 70A.440, it is illegal to sell or apply coal tar pavement products in the State of Washington.
LIABILITY: Property owners or contractors found using these banned substances can face significant fines and may be required to pay for the professional removal and remediation of the contaminated surface.

SAFE ALTERNATIVES

Safe, legal, and effective alternatives are readily available. When hiring a contractor, ensure they are using asphalt-based emulsions or modern acrylic sealers. These products provide the same deep black finish and protection for your asphalt without the toxic side effects or legal risks associated with coal tar.

Before you sign a contract, always ask for the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of the product being used to confirm it is coal tar-free. Keeping our community safe starts with choosing the right materials for our infrastructure.
