Deadly For Pets

The typical old salt is the most used deicer, and sodium chloride is also known as Halite. If the pets ingest sodium chloride, it can cause several health issues and be deadly for pets and even children. The problems start with mild ingestion and then lead to gastrointestinal upset. Moreover, it can also irritate the pet’s paws.

Ice melt is environmentally hazardous because when the warmer days arrive, there will be surface run-off comprising calcium chloride or whatever substance ice melt includes. And these dangerous chemicals tend to pollute both flora and fauna. There are incidences of water supply getting polluted, aquatic life getting harmed, and flora or vegetation getting adverse impact. Furthermore, the concrete gets damaged, and when it seeps indoors then the flooring gets damaged.
