"Increased concern over contamination of surface waters by road salts and adverse effects of this group of contaminants on the freshwater organisms lead to inclusion of "Road salts" on the second Priority Substances List (PSL2) under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). An integral part of the CEPA assessment process is the publication of the Supporting Document. The present report is a contribution to the collection of several reports which form Supporting Documentation for an assessment of the Priority Substance "Road Salt". The purpose of the present report is 1) to provide the information on the physical/chemical properties of inorganic salts commonly used for road maintenance, 2) provide an overview of their fate and transport in surface waters and sediments, and 3) present environmental concentrations of road salt constituents in Canadian surface waters. The information presented in this report resulted from a survey of numerous agency reports and scientific publications"--Abstract. Includes management perspective and abstract in French.
