EFFECTS OF ROAD DEICING SALT ON AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES IN FOUR ADIRONDACK STREAMS. IN: CHEMICAL DEICERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The damage done to road surfaces, bridges, vehicles, and buildings by road deicing salt has been studied extensively. The environmental impact of deicing salt has also been well documented; however, the effects on aquatic organisms have received less attention. Most studies involving aquatic organisms have been in laboratory settings and have dealt primarily with lentic environments. This study examined the effects of elevated chloride levels on the aquatic macroinvertebrates inhabiting four small Adirondack streams.
