Mar 2, 2010. #2. We had a new roof put on a few years back; there seemed to be no ill effect on the animals (at the time, 1 cham, 1 leo, an assortment of fish, newts and frog). However, this was on a 2 story house (animals on first story, roof physically far removed from them) and in Michigan in February (no open windows or doors).

Asphalt-based sealants contain about 1/1000 th the concentration of the cancer-causing chemicals that coal tar-based products do. Home Depot and Lowe's stores have dropped the coal tar sealants from their product lines, but still some 85 million gallons of the coal tar-based sealants are applied annually in the United States.

Coal Tar also has a strong smell that permeates from the surface for months and sometimes even a year or more after its application. Asphalt emulsion doesn't have these same risks involved with the application process contain almost undetectable PAH's (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of more than 100 chemicals that are ...

Nathan, The asphalt/tar smell is like when a road is being redone or has been freshly patched. I can't think of any other way to describe it, but it's pretty intense. I don't know what Raid smells like, so I can't compare it. Best of luck solving your problem. Take care, Kerrie

support a finding that asphalt fumes pose a cancer hazard. Only two of the animal studies done to date tested asphalt fumes. The first of these was a 1980 "skin-painting" study of mice exposed to asphalt fumes generated using a unique labora-tory procedure specially designed to produce the large quantities of fumes needed for this type of ...

Are Asphalt and Modified Bitumen Fumes Harmful? Most of us who have lived or worked in a building that was re-roofed with tar, or passed by a road-crew installing asphalt are aware of the extremely pungent (smelly) odors emitted by bitumen. The noxious fumes you smell from tars being applied to roads or roofs are […]

The concentration of BP in coal tar pitch was 18,100 ppm while the concentration in asphalt was less than 6 ppm. Coal tar fumes contained between two and three orders of magnitude more BP, as well as other PAH species, than asphalt fumes. Coal tar fume condensates were also approximately 100 times more mutagenic than those of asphalt.

Control of asphalt fumes, both in and around the work site, is an integral part of a good management plan. "Asphalt fumes are more of a perception than a real health issue," says Kirk. "In our new terminals, we install odor controls from tanks to loading racks, and we use fans and activated carbon filters and canisters to absorb fumes."

For example, stirring asphalt in a tar kettle exposes the worker to asphalt fumes, solvent vapors, and potentially severe burns. Mechanical devices can accomplish this task without exposing the employee to …

The organic compounds present in fine particulate roofing asphalt tar fumes are characterized using GC/MS techniques. Most of the compound mass identified consists of n-alkanes (73%). Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and thia-arenes (S-PAH) contribute nearly 8% of the identified compound mass and account for 0.57% of the total mass emissions.

Hot Asphalt .. Roofing . Tar . Pot Fumes . Introduction . Bituminous materials such as asphalt and coal tar are commonly used for road construction and roofsealing purposes. The bituminous products used in the United States are manufactured principally from crude oils ( > 99%) and to a minor extent from coal.

H2S can be a danger in the asphalt workplace. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a naturally occurring gas contained in many of the world's crude oils. It is also formed by the degradation of sulfur compounds in the oil when it is exposed to high temperatures or catalysts in the refining process. H2S gas can cause a wide range of health effects.

I smell roofing odors. Does this mean I am being overexposed to harmful fumes? No. The sulfur compounds in roofing asphalt or coal tar have very low odor thresholds (in the parts per billion range). An odor threshold is the lowest concentration at which the odor of a substance can be detected by the human olfactory system.

Using hot roofing tar can easily cause odor complaints because the odor is strong (pungent) and can be smelled at very low concentrations in the air. Odors from rubber roof adhesives have a sweet organic odor (solvent odor ) that people begin to smell when the concentration in …
