Join CLWA and Dr. Bruce Gilman for a talk on de-icing agents!
Location: Wood Library, Hamlin Side A Room
Time: 7-8:30 PM
First introduced to improve winter road safety, the use of de-icing agents has grown so immensely that unforeseen environmental problems have emerged today. This presentation will examine the history of their use, review the scientific literature for their environmental impacts, and describe the ongoing local tributary sampling program established by the presenter and his student volunteers at Finger Lakes Community College. Data for Canandaigua Lake tributary streams will be highlighted.
We will also discuss best practices for managing snow and ice during the winter, the Lake Friendly Way!
