UMaine Road Snow, Ice Removal Research Cited in Hartford Courant Article

Research conducted at the University of Maine was mentioned in a Hartford Courant article about a debate in Connecticut over road snow and ice removal methods. The Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering (CASE) is currently studying whether widely used effective salt compounds are corroding vehicles faster than sand and/or salt, as several truckers claim, according to the article. In Maine, the DOT protocol for snow removal uses the same ingredients as in Connecticut, but in different concentrations. UMaine has also studied road snow and ice removal methods, similar to what CASE is researching now, the article states.
