    Topic: Environmental Field Evaluation of Potassium Acetate (TRIG NS 526) Date: June 29, 2018 Prepared for: Beth Klemann Prepared by: Marilee Tuite, x3797 Resources searched: MnDOT Library catalog, TRID, RiP, ASCE database, PubMed Summary: The results below are relevant to potassium acetate, but the studies review other deicers and aren’t exclusive to potassium acetate. A few results specific to airport runoff are listed at the end. There seems to be more literature about calcium magnesium acetate’s environmental impacts than potassium acetate. Full-text links are provided where possible. Please contact the library if you would like to request full text through inter-library loan (ILL). Results Title: Environmental Risks of Snow and Ice Control Materials Source: chapter 10 (pp. 180-210) by Laura Fay et al in book Sustainable Winter Road Operations (April 2018) Abstract: As abrasives and deicer products are widely used for snow and ice control, the past decade has seen increased concerns over the detrimental impacts on the surrounding environment. Generally, these snow and ice control materials can cause impacts to air quality, water quality, soil, flora, fauna, and human health. The added cost of clean‐up and the paradigm shift from reactive to proactive snow and ice control strategies have resulted in growing use of chemicals instead of abrasives. Therefore, there is a need to better understand and assess the environmental impacts of deicers, in an effort to conduct sustainable winter road maintenance operations in an environmentally and fiscally responsible manner. This chapter will discuss relevant background information and provide a review of the environmental impacts of snow and ice control materials, including abrasives, chlorides, acetates and formates, glycols, urea, and agro‐based deicers, according to a survey of published work particularly those over the last two decades.

  • Potassium Acetate Injection, Solution, Concentrate Hospira, Inc
    POTASSIUM ACETATE- potassium acetate injection, solution, concentrate Hospira, Inc. ---------- Potassium Acetate Injection, USP Potassium Acetate Injection, USP 100 mEq/50 mL (2 mEq/mL) + - (2 mEq K /mL and 2 mEq CH3COO /mL) Pharmacy Bulk Package - Not for Direct Infusion. CONCENTRATED SOLUTION – FOR INTRAVENOUS USE ONLY AFTER DILUTION AND THOROUGH MIXING. Glass Fliptop Vial Rx only DESCRIPTION Potassium Acetate Injection, USP (2 mEq/mL) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, concentrated solution of potassium acetate in water for injection. The solution is administered after dilution by the intravenous route as an electrolyte replenisher. It must not be administered undiluted. Each mL contains 196 mg of potassium acetate which provides 2 mEq each of + potassium (K ) and acetate (CH3COO¯). The solution may contain acetic acid for pH adjustment. The pH is 6.2 (range: 5.5 to 8.0). The osmolar concentration is 4 mOsmol/mL (calc.); specific gravity is 1.089.
