威斯康辛州使用盐碱,而不是岩石盐,削减使用量为4072%,改善道路安全。 Wisconsin uses salt brine instead of rock salt, cutting usage by 40%–72% and improving road safety.

威斯康辛大学的一项研究证实,盐碱与岩盐一样有效,用于冬季道路维护,同时将盐的使用减少40%至72%。 A University of Wisconsin study confirms salt brine is as effective as rock salt for winter road maintenance while reducing salt use by 40% to 72%. 该研究由交通作业和安全实验室进行,发现盐水防止冰与人行道相连,提高了盐的效率,并允许价值1 000美元的盐处理超过175英里的公路——而干盐为70英里。 The research, conducted by the Traffic Operations and Safety Laboratory, found brine prevents ice from bonding to pavement, improves salt efficiency, and allows $1,000 worth of salt to treat over 175 miles of road—compared to 70 miles with dry salt. 现在所有72个威斯康辛州的72个县都使用盐水来拉长预算,加强安全,减少环境影响,支持该州推动更有效的冬季公路处理。 All 72 Wisconsin counties now use brine to stretch budgets, enhance safety, and reduce environmental impact, supporting the state’s push for more efficient winter road treatment.
