| Abstract |
This article reviews the various techniques used to treat wood used for rail sleepers and electric line poles for protection against moulds. Currently, the main products used are creosote, as well as blends of salts labelled CCA (copper, chromium, arsenic) or CCB (copper, chromium, cobalt). The toxic hazards presented by these substances are reviewed, highlighting the particular hazards in the event of a fire. |
