There has been a lot of study and concern about this issue in Canada, since we use a huge amount of salt on our roads during our winter. I can't point you to specific studies, but you might try searching some of the provincial (and federal) government web sites - for example, http://www.mto.gov.on.ca (Province of Ontario Ministry of Transportation - this site may be difficult to access at the moment due to a strike of provincial workers) or http://www.ec.gc.ca (federal Environment Canada). -------------- Colin R.
