Masamba a chitsamba cha creosote amachotsedwa ndi utomoni kuti madzi asatayike mumtunda wotentha. Tsinde la chitsamba cha creosote limatetezeranso chomeracho kuti chidyedwe ndi zilombo zambiri zakutchire ndi tizilombo. Zimakhulupirira kuti chitsamba chimapanga mankhwala owopsa kuti zomera zina zapafupi zisakule. Zomera zotchedwa Creosote zakhalapo kwa nthawi yayitali, zambiri zomwe zimakhalapo kwa zaka zana, ndipo zimatha kukula mpaka mamita khumi. Palinso chitsamba chokha chimene chimakhala pafupifupi zaka 12,000!
Ngakhale kuti ena amanena za fungo la masamba osweka monga "malo apamwamba a chipululu," mawu a Chisipanishi a chomera, hediondilla, amatanthauza "kuchepa pang'ono," kutanthauza kuti si aliyense amene amawoneka ngati fungo lakumwamba kapena losangalatsa.
Chipangizo cha creosote chinali mankhwala osungirako amwenye Achimereka, ndipo mpweya wochokera kumapazi unatulutsidwa kuti uwononge chisokonezo.
Anagwiritsidwanso ntchito ngati mawonekedwe a tiyi kuti athe kuchiza matenda monga chifuwa, mimba, khansara, chifuwa, chimfine, ndi ena.
