Coal tar is a thick, black liquid derived from the carbonization of coal, primarily during the production of coke for steel manufacturing. It is a complex mixture containing thousands of organic compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenols, and heterocyclic compounds. Coal tar is known for its viscous consistency and distinctive odor. It is primarily used in the production of various chemicals, including dyes, drugs, and pesticides, and serves as a key ingredient in roofing and pavement sealants. Additionally, coal tar has medicinal applications, particularly in dermatology, where it is used to treat conditions like psoriasis and eczema due to its anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties. However, it is important to note that coal tar contains carcinogenic compounds, which raises concerns regarding its safety and environmental impact. Proper handling and regulation are essential to mitigate potential health risks associated with exposure to coal tar and its derivatives.
