road salt. Road salt is necessary for safe transportation when snow andice accumulate on roads and highways and cause dangerousdriving conditions. Salt was first used in the 1930's in snow and ice control tomake roads safe and passable by creating a lower freezingtemperature of the water. It is the most available andcost-effective de-icer. It is easy to store, handle, andapply. Some 15 million tons of de-icing salt is used each year inthe U.S. and about 4-5 million in Canada. Salt keeps snow and ice from bonding to the pavement and toallow snowplows to remove accumulations quickly andefficiently. Studies show that salt use reduces accidents by 88%.
