The anthropogenic salt cycle - Nature Reviews Earth & Environment

Widespread use of salts in food, construction, road deicing and industry is driving salinization of water, soil and air. This Review describes the anthropogenic salt cycle, compares it with natural processes and examines its environmental consequences.

Road salt is driving regional salinization, and this is compromising municipal water in the lower Mohawk Watershed (NY). Has chloride in the Great Flats Aquifer caused high lead levels in Scotia NY? We need salt solutions.

Human actions are changing the environment at an unprecedented rate. Plant and animal populations must try to keep up with these human-accelerated changes, often by trying to rapidly evolve tolerance to changing conditions.

NY State leads the nation in use of road salt and our watersheds are paying the price.

The effects on aquatic organisms in the watershed have not yet been thoroughly studied.

This is the story of salt use in the Mohawk Watershed in NY State from my newsletter at Substack.
