When snow melts or it rains, #roadsalt is washed into our rivers and streams, causing major salinity spikes that can threaten aquatic life and our drinking water. CBF’s Maryland Staff Scientist Gussie Maguire explains more and what you can do to help.

🚨 Our study hopefully informs on other contaminants that we apply broadly today, such as #RoadSalt and herbicides like #glyphosate. We absolutely need to do things differently or our #ecosystems will continue to face a lifetime of #pollution 🚨

Very informative article on road salt use in @ottawacity.
It may not be surprising that #Ottawa's use is the highest in the country.
This is bad news for our soil, water, infrastructure, and more.

Where does road salt go after a snowstorm? We tracked it with our Water Guardian! We recorded spikes in conductivity, showing how salt pulses through streams after road treatments.
