There's growing opposition to a set of bills in the Ohio House and Senate that would allow for a potentially harmful ice melting product to be sold in retail stores.
There's growing opposition to a set of bills in the Ohio House and Senate that would allow for a potentially harmful ice melting product to be sold in retail stores.
That product - AquaSalina - contains radioactive radium.
"You don't want it on your roads, you don't want it in your house, you don't want it getting into things because you're going to end up ingesting this stuff," said Youngstown Fire Battalion Chief Silverio Caggiano.
The substance can lead to health problems like bone cancer and liver cancer.
