DSNY Salt Usage

The amount of salt the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) dispenses from salt sites during snow season. DSNY is responsible for the removal of snow and ice from all New York City highways and streets during and post snowstorms. A common way to clear icy roads is to apply a layer of salt, which lowers the freezing temperature of water and melts the ice. Salting roads represents an effective method for preventing weather-related collisions.

纽约市环境卫生局（DSNY）在雪季期间，自盐分发点调配的盐量。环境卫生局负责在雪暴期间及之后，清除纽约市所有高速公路和街道上的积雪和冰。清除结冰道路的常见方法之一是施加一层盐，这能降低水的凝固温度，并融化冰层。撒盐道路是一种有效的预防与天气相关的交通事故的方法。
