FAQ

coal tar est-il sûr pendant la grossesse ?

Coal tar (CAS 8007-45-2) is not harmonised for reproductive toxicity (no H360/H361 found) but animal studies and toxicological profiles report developmental/reproductive effects after exposure to coal-tar/creosote mixtures, so reproductive hazard is suspected rather than confirmed. Dermal absorption and transfer of coal-tar constituents have been demonstrated in toxicokinetic and clinical reports, supporting a plausible mechanism for fetal exposure; topical medical use produces measurable systemic uptake. ECHA lists coal tar with serious health classifications (H350, carcinogenic), and ATSDR/technical reviews document animal developmental toxicity.

coal tar est-il sûr pendant l'allaitement ?

Breastfeeding: evidence is limited but there are clinical reports showing maternal treatment with coal tar results in measurable infant exposure (urine detection), and animal reproductive/developmental data raise concern, so suspected hazard (h=2). Mechanistically, components are absorbed and can be transferred; measured infant biomarkers have been reported. Typical topical cosmetic/medicinal dermal use leads to low but measurable exposure in milk/infant (e=1). ([ncbi.nlm.nih.gov](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK501615/?utm_source=openai))

coal tar est-il sûr pour la peau de bébé ?

For infants (0–3 yr) the underlying hazard and mechanism are the same as for adults (no infant-specific evidence to change h or m), but immature skin and higher surface-area-to-weight increase likely exposure — therefore exposure score increased by +1 to e=3 (high bioavailability relative to adult topical use). Animal data show developmental effects after dermal exposure and toxicological reviews document dermal absorption of coal-tar related mixtures.
