3. There had been speculation of a potential adverse environmental effect of CMA used as an anti-icing material due to its constituent acetate ions, which in principle are able to increase the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of streams nearby application site, causing the depletion of dissolved oxygen (J.P. Connolly, P.R. Paquin, T.J. Mulligan, K.B. Wu, L. Davanzo, Calcium magnesium acetate biodegradation and its impact on surface waters: in: C.R. Goldman, G.J. Malyj, (eds.), The Environmental Impact of Highway Deicing—Proceedings of a symposium held October 13, 1989 at the University of California, Davis Campus, Institute of Ecology, no. 33, 1990, p. 140–156.). An in depth study (the following reference) at several creeks in the vicinity of U.S. Highway26 did however show no a discernible differences in BOD or calcium and magnesium concentration before and after application of CMA.
