3How is asphalt made?
- There are two major types of asphalt natural
asphalt and petroleum asphalt. Natural asphalt
has been used mainly as an adhesive and
waterproofing material since ancient times and is
produced in various forms, such as being soaked
in stone and sand. There are also asphalt lakes
in the world, and the largest natural asphalt
lake Pitch Lake is famous as a lake that has
been asphalted rather than water. - Petroleum asphalt, on the other hand, changes
depending on the manufacturing method and raw
materials, but modified asphalt, etc., in which
the polymer is mixed with straight asphalt to
improve durability, is used on many roads

4The ingredients contained in asphalt and their
effects on the human body
- I think Ive seen where Im paving asphalt, but
when I pass near it I think that the smoke of
asphalt comes out and I care about the peculiar
smell. Although this smoke seems to be harmful to
the body at first glance, its actual identity is
the water vapor that has evaporated the water
that cools the asphalt. Also, the smell of wet
asphalt is unique on a rainy day, but it is said
that the smell is not the smell of asphalt
itself, but the smell of dirt and dust adhering
to the road. It can be said that the smell of
asphalt does not adversely affect the human body.
So what is the composition of the asphalt itself? - The main components of asphalt, oils such as
paraffin and naphthenic..

5The difference with coal tar used for road
pavement
- Coal tar is a by-product of carbonization of coal
and is a liquid or semi-solid substance. Coal tar
was once used for road pavement, but it is
currently replaced by asphalt and concrete
pavement. Coal tar contains more than 300 kinds
of aromatic compounds such as benzene, carbonic
acid, and cresol, among which carcinogenic
substances are said to be contained. In
particular, benzo (a) pyrene is a relatively
large amount of carcinogens contained in coal
tar, and when it is taken into the body, a large
amount of active oxygen is generated. Active
oxygen is necessary for the body. However, if the
amount is too large, it has the effect of
damaging clean cells, which leads to
carcinogenesis. - I tried to summarize the difference between such
coal tar and asphalt.

6Raw materials and main components
- Asphalt is produced by distillation residue from
crude oil and contains hydrocarbons as its main
component. - Coal tar is produced by carbonization of coal and
contains more than 300 aromatic compounds such as
benzene, carbonic acid, and cresol.

7Current main usage
- Asphalt is used directly on the roof, for road
pavements, parking lots, and waterproofing
purposes. - Coal tar is used indirectly by taking out
ingredients like synthetic fragrances for food,
cosmetics, raw materials for fragrances and
insect repellents.

8Four merits to recommend asphalt pavement
- When making a parking lot, it is better to use
asphalt than other pavement methods. Lets
introduce it. - 1 There is an affordable cost.
- 2 Soft and flexible, reduce the noise of the
car. - 3 Since it will be completely solidified when
paved and cooled, the work days can be shortened. - 4 There is less carcinogenic substance than coal
tar and it is safe.

9Summary
- What did you think? This time, I have introduced
the ingredients of asphalt and the effects on
people. - You may have to consider the impact on the human
body from the smoke and unique oil odor when
paving asphalt. - However, it turned out that asphalt is safe
because it does not contain negative effects.
Asphalt that is often used in parking lots and
roads.
