Road salts are altering and mobilizing heavy metals away from roadside soils, potentially
into freshwater systems. Despite numerous studies investigating the mobilization of heavy …

The negative impacts of road salt (primarily NaCl) on freshwater ecosystems and ground
and surface waters used for drinking purposes have been extensively documented. Besides …

Heavy metals are released into the environment by both anthropogenic and natural sources.
Highly reactive and often toxic at low concentrations, they may enter soils and groundwater …

Salt pollution is a threat to freshwater ecosystems. Anthropogenic salt inputs increase lake
and stream salinity, and consequently change aquatic ecosystem structure and function …

Heavy metals, pervasive in the environment due to natural processes and human activities,
pose substantial threats to ecosystems and human health. This study aims to delve into the …

Freshwater ecosystems worldwide are threatened by salinisation caused by human
activities. Scientific attention on the ecological impacts of salinisation from road deicing salts …

The application of deicing road salts began in the 1940s and has increased drastically in
regions where snow and ice removal is critical for transportation safety. The most commonly …

Heavy metals deposited on road surfaces and transferred to roadside environments by
rainfall and snowmelt runoff can have serious impacts on receiving ecosystems. Infiltration is …

The bioaccessibility, bioavailability, and bioaccumulation properties of inorganic metals in
soil, sediments, and aquatic systems are complex. Similar to organic compounds, abiotic …

Heavy metal pollution has become a global issue of concern. Heavy materials are
consistently increasing due to urbanization and industrialization. They are a persistent …
