| Abstract/Contents: | "Various salt compounds are used to raise the melting point of ice and snow in northern urban areas to facilitate traffic and pedestrian movement and to eliminate unsafe road and sidewalk conditions. These compounds commonly are sodium chloride or calcium chloride applied unmixed or mixed with sand, fine gravel, or coarse tailings. The amounts applied have increased over time as traffic and traffic speed on highways have increased along with the miles of highway. Dirr (1976) quotes Westing's (1969) estimate of 12 million tons of salt applied to northeastern United States highways annually." Discusses the adverse affect the salt has on plants. Discusses the physiology of salt damage to plants and their sensitivity, salts in the soil, materials used as de-icing salts and relatice phytotoxicity, and methods to prevent salt damage. |
