Heavily salting state roads can have negative effects on the surrounding environment and organisms. The excess salt can contaminate nearby water sources, disrupt the balance of aquatic ecosystems, harm plant life, and impact wildlife that may ingest the salt or drink from contaminated water.

Why does high salt concentrations can kill organisms?

Salt tends to dehydrate plants and animals that come in contact with it in large quantities.
