Road salt (mainly NaCl) is commonly used during the winter to ensure road and pavement
safety; however, the long-term application of NaCl has negative consequences on soil and …

Urbanized watersheds in colder climates experience episodic salinization due to
anthropogenic salt inputs and runoff from impervious surfaces. Episodic salinization can be …

Abstract Study region: Awash River Basin, Ethiopia: Study focus Many river basins in sub-
Saharan Africa have become vulnerable due to the impact from climate change, weak …

During winter, snow and ice on roads in regions with cold weather can increase traffic
crashes and casualties, resulting in travel delays and financial burdens to society. Anti‐icing …

In cold-climate regions, road salt is used as a deicer for winter road maintenance. The
applied road salt melts ice and snow on roads and can be washed off through storm sewer …

Excessive use of road salts to maintain safe winter travel conditions leads to increasing
chloride (Cl) concentrations in streams, damaging the structure and function of freshwater …

Abstract The people of New York have long benefited from the state's diversity of
ecosystems, which range from coastal shorelines and wetlands to extensive forests and …

Increasing specific conductance (SC) and chloride concentrations [Cl] negatively affect
many stream ecosystems. We characterized spatial variability in SC,[Cl], and exceedances …

Sources of many major ions in urban streams remain ambiguous, particularly for ions
unrelated to deicing salt use, and temporal patterns in concentrations are unstudied. We …

Increasing salinization of freshwater threatens water supplies that support a range of human
and ecological uses. The latest assessments of Delaware River Basin (DRB) surface-water …
