Volume 35 of IARC monograph states that there is limited evidence that coal atr derived Creosotes are carcinogenic in humans and sufficient evidence for the carcinogenicity of CREOSOTE in experiemental animals. Limitations in the human exposure studies reviewed by IARC (including the presence of other chemicals, small study populations and not well documented exposure levels) contributed to IRAC's conclusions regarding human exposure to CREOSOTE .
