摘要: While sodium chloride or salt is effective and relatively inexpensive, it can destroy a soil's structure and cause erosion, damage, and kill vegetation, while contributing to the corrosion oi metal bridges and motor vehicles. It can also seep into groundwater and run off into surface waters, contaminating wildlife habitats, and potentially affecting drinking water. The challenge with salt application - particularly near water ways - is that the problem compounds each year. Unfortunately, unlike most other pollutants, chlorides do not dilute or biodegrade; instead, they accumulate in surface waters (lakes, streams, and ponds), groundwater, and soils.
