The pore-like structure of permeable pavements may help protect coho salmon by preventing tire wear particles and related contaminants from entering stormwater runoff, according to a WSU study.
John Stark, Washington Stormwater Center director, is on a CDC work group looking at the potential impact of vector-borne diseases & how to prevent them.
WSU researcher Jenifer McIntyre is trying to solve the mystery of why, in the same toxic stormwater brew that killed coho salmon in less than three hours, their chum cousins did just fine.
