  Dusty road problem

Tom, they used to use that stuff around our place too. It is called "black Liquor" although why I'm not sure, it is actually a sludge by-product from the lumber mills.

They discovered it contains trace amounts of all sorts of nasty chemicals, most notably, Mercury. The environmentalists successfully argued it was going into the watershed so they discontinued it's use in favour of CaCl (Calcium Chloride).

As a sidebar, our area is part of a pilot program in which they are using liquid CaCl applied by a tanker truck like the ones used to wash roads, but with a finer spray pattern, to control road icing instead of rock salt. They are even saturating the asphalt for 300 ft. leading up o intersections, and along curves, this week hoping it will stay on the road and prevent the ice from sticking to the road surface.

Best of luck.

  Dusty road problem

I think what you are referring to is "Lignosulphanate" which is commonly marketed under various names as a dust control agent for roads, etc.

It is a by-product of the lumber & pulp industries and is billed as being an 'environmentally safe' way to control dust. However, studies done in Ontario showed that it does not soak far enough into the road to prevent it being washed away by rain, if it then collects in a marshy area without much waterflow it builds up to toxic levels quickly.

It is interesting to note that even though this stuff was widely approved for dust control use on roads, it was 'hazardous waste' at the mill.

Best of luck.
