1/3 of all U.S. salt is used to clear roads of ice.
The claim that one third of all U.S. salt is used to clear roads of ice lacks precise corroborating evidence. The provided web evidence indicates significant salt usage for road deicing in regions like the Northeast U.S., but does not specify the proportion of total U.S. salt consumption. Without specific data confirming the 'one third' statistic, the claim remains unsubstantiated.
