From Governor Hochul’s website:

“Governor Kathy Hochul today signed a package of legislation to protect public health and the environment and address harmful pollutants in New York State. Legislation S.2936a/A.5029a prohibits the burning of grade 6 fuel oil in buildings. Legislation S.4095b/A.518a bans the use and sale of pavement products that contain coal tar.

“The harmful effects of climate change and pollution have only heightened the importance of protecting the well-being of New Yorkers and the preservation of our state’s environment,” Governor Hochul said. “This legislation takes important steps to ensure that New Yorkers have access to clean water and a breathable environment free of harmful pollutants.”

Legislation S.2936a/A.5029a will reduce the level of toxic air pollutants that are a result of burning grade 6 fuel oil in buildings. Grade 6 fuel oil contains high concentrations of contaminants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals, nitric oxide, sulfur dioxide, nickel, and black carbon that are released into the air when it is used to heat buildings. PAHs are proven human carcinogens, and sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide are known respiratory irritants. Studies show combustion of grade 6 fuel oil forms soot that when conveyed into the atmosphere create a source of air pollution and contribute to respiratory illness. Cost-effective alternatives for building heating are available in the market today to both reduce emissions and lower energy costs for building owners. The prohibition on the use of grade 6 fuel oil in buildings for heating goes into effect on July 1, 2023.

Assemblymember Amy Paulin said, “The climate crisis is rapidly accelerating, and so must our response. This legislation takes aim at one of the prime causes of climate change and extreme weather:  air pollution. Fuel oil grade number 6 releases extremely harmful pollutants into our air. We must take every step possible to make sure that the air we breathe is clean and contributes to life.  This law is a positive step in that direction. I thank Governor Hochul for signing this important legislation into law and for her commitment to protecting our health and the health of our environment.”

Legislation S.4095b/A.518a prohibits the use and sale of coal tar-based pavement sealants that contain benzo(a)pyrene and other similar carcinogenic PAHs which are harmful to wildlife and have been classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to increase cancer risks, particularly in children. Recent studies conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey have shown that while levels of most common environmental pollutants in waterways are consistently declining, levels of pollutants found in coal tar sealants are increasing. These carcinogens leach into soils and waterways through runoff, posing a toxic threat to these waterways and aquatic life. Chemicals associated with coal tar-based sealants that are known carcinogens, such as PAHs, have also been identified in house dust at alarming levels. Safer and more environmentally friendly pavement products, like asphalt-based pavement sealants, that contain PAHs in substantially lower concentrations (typically 50 ppm total PAH) are on the market and readily available. The prohibition on the sale of these products will begin Nov. 8, 2022. The ban on the use of pavement products containing coal tar starts Nov. 8, 2023.

Senator James Sanders Jr. said, “This new law will protect residents of Southeast Queens and all New Yorkers, especially children, and wildlife from the toxic effects of coal tar.”

Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal said, “After 10 long years of fighting, I am thrilled that my bill to ban coal tar-based sealants is finally law. Coal tar is bad for our health and our environment. It poses a grave danger to fish and aquatic wildlife, as well as children and pets, who are more likely to be exposed to chemicals in coal tar that settle near the ground. It’s beyond time that New York follow the lead of other municipalities that have already abandoned coal tar in favor of safer alternatives, such as asphalt-based sealants. Thank you to the environmental organizations that fought alongside me for years to see this bill finally become law.”

Senior Manager of Government Affairs for Riverkeeper Jeremy Cherson said, “Thank you Governor Hochul for signing legislation championed by Assemblymember Rosenthal and Senator Sanders to ban the toxic and carcinogenic coal tar based pavement sealants. This harmful fossil-fuel based product is applied to driveways, parking lots, and even playgrounds across the state. These sealants enter our waterways, poisoning wildlife and tracking into people’s homes, putting children at an elevated risk of toxic exposure. I thank our elected leaders for prioritizing clean water and public health by finally banning this toxic product and transitioning New York to less toxic, readily available alternatives.”

Coal Tar Free America’s Thomas Ennis said, “I am grateful for the persistence of the bill’s sponsors and advocates. This bill represents the real, annual reduction of millions of pounds of toxins which affect our children and the environment. It truly is a benefit to all!”

Director of Clean and Healthy New York Bobbi Wilding said, “Coal tar is known to cause cancer. Coal tar sealants also release high amounts of toxic PAHs, which harm workers, and contaminate our environment. Simply put, these toxic chemicals don’t belong on our driveways or roads. Thank you, Governor Hochul, for signing this bill into law, and thank you, bill sponsors Senator James Sanders, Jr. and Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal for this important to step to eliminate harmful fossil-fuel based toxics from New York communities. This law will make New York cleaner and healthier.”

Conservation & Development Program Manager for the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter Caitlin Ferrante said, “Dirty fossil fuels and their toxic byproducts disproportionately impact New York’s most disadvantaged communities, as inferior fuels and materials contribute to greater rates of asthma, cancers and neuropathies. By phasing out the burning of grade 6 heating oil and banning the use of coal tar in paving sealants, Governor Hochul and the Legislature are keeping two of the most persistent sources of pollution out of neighborhoods that have historically struggled with finding affordable, less toxic alternatives. This is a good day for clean air and water, and a good day for New York’s communities.”

On January 31, 2022, Luisa Wiewgorra with Fox 47 News, reported that Grand Ledge, Michigan has implemented a ban on coal tar sealants.

Here is an excerpt:

Grand Ledge has banned the use of coal tar-based sealants, following mid-Michigan’s Meridian Township and East Lansing.

“We wanted to do something with the PAHs before it became a problem,” said Tom Jancek, a member or the Grand Ledge City Council, referring to a group of chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. “And there are solutions now. You just use a different sealer.”

You can learn more about PAHs here.

Grand Ledge has banned coal tar as a pavement sealant, which means that contractors and retailers are not allowed to sell or use it anymore. The ordinance is meant to protect its residents’ health and the environment.

“Anytime you burn something, if you burn toast, you create PAH,” said Thomas Ennis, advocate and founder of Coal Tar Free America.

“If you’ve got coal tar on your parking lot, you will have high PAH is in your apartment,” he said. “You may say, well, that’s just the carpet. Well, that’s where our kids play…They’re constantly putting stuff in their mouth. And that’s what, that’s the way they experience their world. Well, they’re experiencing it in a pH rich environment. And it’s significant enough to increase their lifetime cancer risk 38 times by up for a child in those kinds of circumstances.”

Read more about the harmful effects of PAHs here.

Ennis said polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be breathed in, ingested, but also get in our bloodstream if we touch them, which puts construction workers at high risk as well. According to Ennis, the solution is easy and not any more expensive than coal tar.

“Coal tar sealcoat is about 70,000 parts per million. Then asphalt sealcoat is about 50 parts per million. So, we’re talking about the alternative being, you know, 1000 times less in PAHs,” Ennis said.

Michigan’s Van Buren Township was the first community in the U.S. to ban not only coal tar, but high PAH substances, everything that contains over 0.1 percent of PAH. In mid-Michigan, coal tar has been banned by Meridian Township, East Lansing and now Grand Ledge.

“We get our water from the groundwater. So, the more that we can protect it, the better long term we are,” Jancek said.

Lansing’s Communications Director Scott Bean said that the city of Lansing and its contractors are not using coal tar sealants. However, there is no ordinance in place for private contractors.

“This is an issue we will be discussing with the Sustainability Commission to possibly make a recommendation on any future action,” Bean said.

Ennis said he gets “a lot of calls from upset homeowners who’ve put this down, and you know, they’ve got small kids, and then they realize, ‘Oh, my gosh, I don’t want to poison them. I do all this the right things for my kids. I eat the right things, I do the right things. And then I didn’t know this.’ Well, I think that’s the role of good government is to protect, protect citizens from predatory uses of toxic substances,” Ennis said.

What types of damage to look for?

Routine inspection of your pavement is essential to identify any signs of wear and tear. Catching these signs early can prevent significant issues down the line. Keep an eye out for cracks, potholes, raveling and deformations. These issues can be caused by factors like inclement weather, heavy traffic and lack of maintenance. If you notice any of these issues, it is time to take action.

When is sealcoating appropriate?

Sealcoating helps with preventing oxidization, filling small cracks or gaps and protecting the surface from water intrusion. Adding a coat of sealant to your pavement can preserve it and delay the need for repaving. When shelling out for a repavement seems daunting, sealcoating should be considered as a cost-effective option for maintaining the condition of your pavement.

When is repaving necessary?

Big cracks, potholes and uneven surfaces that cannot be effectively repaired with sealcoat treatment signal the need for a repave. When little areas of damage are left unchecked, they will grow and merge, presenting a much bigger and costly problem. Safety is of utmost importance when deciding whether it’s time to repave. Old pavement is more susceptible to damage from weather, which can become a hazard to drivers and pedestrians.

Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat

When opting for sealcoat treatment, it’s important to choose sealant wisely. To ensure a long-lasting, cost-effective treatment, we recommend Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion, offered by EcoShield and its network of distributors in the Carolinas. Pitch Black is a high-quality sealant with an impressive record for durability, providing superior resistance to water and UV light exposure. As an option for sealcoating, Pitch Black is also eco-friendly with 0.00% PAHs and easier to apply.

Your asphalt pavement’s condition will determine whether you should sealcoat or repave. Small damages and the first signs of wear and tear can be easily and relatively cheaply corrected with sealcoat treatment. However, if the damage has become extensive, it’s time to start thinking about repaving. Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion provided by EcoShield and its distributors is the smart choice when considering sealcoat treatments. Overall maintenance of your asphalt pavement is crucial for preventing the need for costly renovations or repairs while ensuring a safe and pleasant environment.

However, there are many questions that people have about the process, and we’re here to answer them.

Here, we’ll address the most common questions about sealcoating and provide you with detailed information about why it is crucial to choose a high-quality asphalt sealcoat applied by a professional in your local area.

1. Why apply two thin coats of sealcoat instead of one thick coat?

It’s crucial to apply two thin coats of sealcoat because this process ensures that all areas of the pavement are evenly covered. A single thick coat can cause puddles that will cause irregular drying, leading to cracking and spalling. Additionally, two thin coats give you a more uniform appearance that is visually appealing.

2. Why did my sealcoat dry gray instead of black?

The color of the sealcoat is an indication of the quality of the coating. Poor-quality coatings and products may cause the sealcoat to dry gray. In contrast, high-quality sealcoat, such as Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat, contains an advanced pigment dispersion that results in a vibrant, deep black color, and a long-lasting finish.

3. Why does sealcoat wear out faster in high traffic areas?

Sealcoat is a protective barrier against UV rays and other weather elements that cause damage and fading to the asphalt. However, high traffic areas will wear down the sealcoat faster because of the constant friction and abrasion. A good way to prevent this is to reapply the sealcoat every two to three years to maintain its strength and effectiveness.

4. How soon can I apply sealcoat to new asphalt pavement?

New asphalt pavement needs time to cure before applying sealcoat. Typically, it’s recommended to wait at least six months before applying a sealcoat. However, it’s best to consult with a professional sealcoat applicator to determine the time frame as it may depend on other factors such as the climate in your area.

5. What is slurry and how is it different from sealcoat?

Both slurry and sealcoat are protective coatings applied to asphalt pavement. However, slurry is a mix of fine aggregate, asphalt emulsion and water while sealcoat is a liquid mix. Slurry provides a textured finish for the pavement while sealcoat provides a smooth finish.

6. What is a mix design?

A mix design is a specific formula used to create the sealcoat mix that is applied to pavement. A good mix design includes a balance of high-quality asphalt emulsion with high-quality fillers that extend the life of the pavement.

7. Why does some sealcoat cause skin irritation and burning?

Some sealcoat contains high levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are dangerous to humans and animals. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose a sealcoat with low PAH levels to prevent skin irritation and burning while applying the sealcoat. Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat is environmentally friendly and contains 0.00% PAHS, reducing exposure to harmful elements.

8. What are common sealcoating bonding problems?

Common problems include dirt and debris on the pavement surface, surface temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit and oil and gas spills. These issues can result in poor bonding and reduced effectiveness of the sealcoat. It is essential to have a clean, dry surface before application, a temperature range of between 50-85 degrees Fahrenheit and spills cleaned up before application of the sealcoat.

9. Why Choose Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat?

Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality, environmentally friendly asphalt sealcoat. It is non-toxic and safe for people, pets and the environment. Pitch Black Sealcoat has added reagents that extend the life of the sealcoat and makes it resistant to the harmful effects of UV rays.

Sealcoating is an essential step in extending the lifespan of your asphalt pavement. By understanding the questions and answers above, you can ensure that the process is done effectively, efficiently and safely. To ensure the best results, it’s crucial to use a high-quality sealcoat like Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat, which is environmentally friendly and provides long-lasting protection. EcoShield Asphalt Products is the Pitch Black manufacturer in the Carolinas and is committed to providing safe, non-toxic sealcoat across the area that protects families and the environment.

What are PAHs?

PAH stands for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, which are a group of over 100 chemicals that occur naturally in coal, oil and gasoline. PAHs are also released into the environment through industrial processes such as power plants, factories and car emissions. They can also be found in contaminated air, soil, water and food.

Why are PAHs Dangerous?

PAHs pose serious health risks as they are known to be carcinogenic and can cause respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Even short-term exposure to high levels of PAHs can lead to nausea, vomiting and fever.

Why is Coal-Tar Asphalt Sealant a Dangerous Source of PAHs?

Coal-tar asphalt sealants are a common source of PAHs used for sealing asphalt pavements. These sealants contain high levels of PAHs and are known to release them into the air, water and soil. When the sealant wears off, the PAHs are released into the environment and can accumulate in nearby bodies of water. This can cause fish die-off in the waterways and negatively impact the local ecosystem.

How to Protect Yourself with Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat

Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat is a safe and effective alternative to coal-tar sealants. It is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and contains 0.00% PAHs. Moreover, Pitch Black is water-based, which means it is environmentally friendly and doesn’t release harmful PAHs into the ecosystem. Using Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat also prevents fish die-off and toxic run-off in nearby waterways, keeping the local ecosystem healthy.

Asphalt sealcoats are crucial to protect pavements from wear and tear, but it’s important to remember that not all sealants are created equally. Coal-tar asphalt sealants contain harmful PAHs that can pose serious health risks and impact the local ecosystem. However, with Pitch Black Asphalt Emulsion Sealcoat, you won’t have to sacrifice effectiveness for safety. Pitch Black is an eco-friendly, non-toxic, and 0.00% PAHs alternative that will keep your pavement healthy and your environment safe.
