Hi Paul, =C2=A0>You wouldn't find that from University or government folks.=
=C2=A0You may find a small amount of comfort knowing that that isn=E2=80=
=99t always the case. In a 2012 environmental assessment report of the impa=
ct of the realignment of the Trans-Canada Highway in PEI the following can =
be found: =C2=A0=E2=80=9CRoad salts that contain inorganic chloride salts a=
re considered =E2=80=9Ctoxic=E2=80=9D as defined in Section 64 of the CEPA=
=E2=80=A6 Environment Canada determined that the development and refinement=
of Salt Management Plans is the best mitigation against potential environm=
ental effects from road salt use.=E2=80=9D =C2=A0Also, Environment Canada h=
as issued a number of bulletins regarding road salt as well. This from an A=
ugust 2000 bulletin: =C2=A0=E2=80=9CBehavioural and toxicological impacts h=
ave been associated with exposure of mammalian and avian wildlife to road s=
alts. Road salt increases the vulnerability of birds to car strike and may =
poison some birds directly. To relieve thirst, birds may
ingest snow which could have negative energetic consequences; consumption =
of meltwater containing high concentrations of salt may increase salt inges=
tion rather than alleviating salt toxicosis. Road salt may also affect wild=
life through its impact on habitat, with reduction in plant cover or commun=
ity shifts that could affect wildlife dependent on these plants for food or=
shelter.=E2=80=9D =C2=A0Of course whether decision makers heed these warni=
ngs is another question entirely. =C2=A0All the best, =C2=A0Lance =C2=A0Lan=
