https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2013-3-58-62

Abstract

There was investigated deicing agents toxicity, which are used at present in the cities of Russian Federation, for higher plants. There were identified the less dangerous deicing agents for environment. Results of this work allow improve for industrial establishments chemical makeup of agents, and it will be useful foe cities atmosphere and inhabitants health.
