Salt Watch Update: The State of Road Salt Pollution (Webinar)
You’ve learned about the impact road salt and chloride have on our trees and our waterways – now learn about where chloride is a problem in streams, lakes and groundwater. Join us to hear about the progress of our Salt Watch season so far, and tune in to learn more about the extent of chloride in surface and groundwater across the country. Emily Bialowas, our Salt Watch coordinator, will give an update on how you have contributed to Salt Watch this winter and what more you can do, and Dr. Joel Moore from Towson University will tell us about how chloride moves through our waterways, where it persists, and current research into the impact of road salt.
Your kit will include a bottle containing 25 nitrate test strips which you can use to test your water source(s) throughout the year. You’ll also receive postcards explaining how to use your nitrate test strips and how to share your Nitrate Watch results on the Clean Water Hub.
Your kit will include four test strips so you can test your waterway throughout the season. You’ll also receive a chart to help you interpret your results and a postcard with instructions for completing a Salt Watch test and reporting your findings.
