The Effects of Road Salts on Our Rivers and Lakes
Road salt pollution is an escalating concern in Canada, affecting aquatic life and freshwater resources. Elevated sodium and chloride levels can harm plants, deteriorate infrastructure, and threaten drinking water supplies. The use of road salts can lead to elevated levels of sodium and chloride in freshwater sources, posing human health risks. Sustainable road salt management is crucial to preserve the health of Canada's ecosystems, infrastructure, and communities.
