“…Most research has focused on salt used for WRM (Fay and Shi, 2012;Hintz and Relyea, 2019;Asensio et al, 2017;Nazari et al, 2015;Arnott et al, 2020), but rising salinity in streams and groundwater near roads treated with chloride-based dust suppressants has also been reported (Goodrich et al, 2009a;Eckstein, 2011;Bair and Digel, 1990). Freshwater salinization impacts drinking water resources (Eckstein, 2011;Pieper et al, 2018) and poses risks to roadside vegetation (Goodrich and Jacobi, 2012;Goodrich et al, 2009b) and aquatic organisms at all trophic levels (Hintz and Relyea, 2019;Arnott et al, 2020;Honarvar Nazari et al, 2021).…”
