Black newly applied sealcoat contrasts with unsealed asphalt
Black newly applied sealcoat contrasts with unsealed asphaltNewly applied coal-tar-based sealcoat is dark black, sharply contrasting with the unsealed asphalt parking lot below. Coal-tar-based sealcoat is a potent source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Worn sealcoat in Milwaukee, WI
Coal-tar-based sealcoat, a potent source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), abrades into fine particles with time. Here, runoff containing abraded particles goes down a storm drain and is delivered to a nearby lake. Read more about coal-tar-based sealcoat and PAHs here.

Sealcoat wear indicated by bare asphalt patches
The abrasive action of car tires and snow plows causes sealcoat to wear off. Here, light-colored patches indicate where the sealcoat has worn off and the underlying asphalt shows through.

A Landsat Mosaic for Indiana’s Bicentennial
This satellite mosaic of the Hoosier State was created from several Landsat scenes stitched together to create one seamless image. Data from the National Elevation Dataset (NED) is also incorporated into the image. The names of major cities and county boundaries have been added.
