Jerol poles are environmentally friendly, do not leach into or from the soil, and are not affected by ants, other insects or dogs.<\/p>\n

Jerol poles are therefore suitable for installation in environmentally sensitive areas such as water reservoirs, parks, recreational areas including playgrounds and schools, as well as nature reserves and protected areas.<\/p>\n

  1. Can Jerol poles be used in environmentally sensitive areas?<\/strong>
    \nJerol composite poles are environmentally friendly and neither absorb nor leak chemicals over their whole lifespan. Environmental declaration (Swedish)<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. What goes into a Jerol composite pole?<\/strong>
    \nJerol composite poles consist of fibreglass reinforced polyester, with a protective outer layer of durable polyethylene.     Material Safety Data Sheet\u00a0<\/a>(Swedish)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Environmental Toxins and Sweden\u2019s Environment Goals: \u201cA toxin-free environment\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As a result of the legislative changes undertaken across the European Union, where the discussion of dangerous chemicals and a toxin free environment is high on the agenda, Jerol\u2019s non-toxic poles are an excellent alternative.<\/p>\n

    In Sweden, 4952 tonnes of creosote was used in 2014. This has increased by 15-20% each year in the 2 years following. Creosote accounts for approximately 50% of the total pesticide volume in Sweden, and has been exempt from pesticide tax since 1984.<\/p>\n

    Additionally, tens of thousands of creosote-impregnated posts are imported from Norway and Finland.<\/p>\n

    The EU\u2019s chemical legislation REACH alongside Sweden\u2019s environmental policy, says that creosote shall not be used if a non-toxic alternative exists. This is particularly relevant within protected areas and where there is the likelihood of repeated contact with skin.<\/p>\n

    Creosote is a CMR substance, i.e. carcinogenic, mutagenic, or a reprotoxic (harmful to a foetus or embryo during pregnancy). It contains several substances with hazardous PBT (persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic) characteristics.<\/p>\n

    Creosote can also irritate the skin and together with sunlight can cause severe allergic reactions.<\/p>\n

    It is bioaccumulative and very toxic to aquatic plants and wildlife. Creosote is used as a protective agent in wooden electrical and telecommunication poles, and a large pole can contain over 190kg of creosote.<\/p>\n
