January 27–31 is Winter Salt Week, a multistate effort to raise awareness about the harms of road salt. Stroud Water Research Center is leading the charge in the mid-Atlantic region, helping dozens of organizations sample streams and tell the story of road salt in their communities.

Dilution is NOT the solution

Presented by Dr. Jess Hua

Our understanding around how salt affects freshwater communities continues to evolve. As scientists across disciplines come together to study this pollutant, their work is revealing a host of ecological complexities and cascading impacts. This talk will highlight how “sublethal” concentrations of salt can still be harmful to wildlife and how other environmental factors (predators and water chemistry) can alter the effects of salt on wildlife.
