- Abstract:
- In winter maintenance, the application of road de-icing products on transport infrastructures is a common practice for the maintenance of road security. However, these products are transported out of the roads into the surrounding environment by numerous factors (rain, wind, traffic, ...). We demonstrate the importance of the surveillance of the road de-icers‘ dissemination in the environment by the illustration of two applications that are under investigation. In the first application, we survey the salinity of a detention pond used for the road water treatment. In the second one, the salt dissemination around a salt stocking area is investigated.
