Examining nearby creeks and outflows, Cornell University students have found that the amount of road salt in winter and spring runoff that flushes into streams is of near-oceanic salinity levels, according to a new, unpublished report. Salinity levels in streams across the Northeastern United States have been steadily increasing for several decades, and the culprit is clearly road salt.
