I recently reached out to PennDOT about the dangers of using the chemical calcium chloride on our roadways. It is extremely caustic to most metals, including brake lines and components, and the rebar in our roads and bridges. This could lead to premature failure, putting drivers at risk. Many auto repair shops will verify the damage that its usage has caused.
