According to Sanzo, D., & Hecnar, S. J. (2005, September 12),they found that road salt can cause sluggishness, loss of balance, physical abnormalities, such as bent tails, reduced weight, reduced fitness, and interfered tadpole’s feeding habits. Many tadpoles struggled while swimming as a result of bent tails, making it harder for those individuals to acquire food. Also, road salt exposure can increases risk of skin dryness, causing respiratory impairment, and prevent growth, which extends the time period for larvaes to develop. (Collins, S. J., Russell, R. W., 2008, August 8). Furthermore, Sanzo, D., & Hecnar, S. J. (2005, September 12), found out that road salt can cause a lack of balance and activity, such as swimming, and decrease the regulation of osmosis, the movement of water through a membrane,. Their data supported the hypothesis that road salt negatively affects communities (Sanzo, D., & Hecnar, S. J., 2005, September 12). Effects of road salts vary between amphibian species. For example, road salt had more negative effects on A. maculatum than R. sylvatica (Karraker, N. E., Gibbs, J. P., Vonesh, J. R., 2008). Also, species such as the Spotted salamander and Wood frog were very sensitive to salinity (Collins, S. J. & Russell, R. W., 2008, August 8), whereas other species such as the American toad (Bufo americanus) and the African clawed frog (Xenopus
