[@emeralds318]

curious , would the addition of chlorides in drinking water around specific areas have an effect that might travel by air to the water test areas? for ash from forest fires or volcanic debris do have effect upon ice structures. eg. the particles land on ice and slowly form a tiny fracture that would break ice . ~ lack of wording =sorry but hope your group comprehends the scope of the question.
