I have read that people use it for plants....I guess the salt doesn't matter that much. Its pretty low anyways.

Salt is a major. It binds nutrients making it impossible for plants to take them in. And or coats the roots prohibiting nutrient uptake.

Anyone who has done any amount of indoor or potted horticulture will agree salt is bad. It's in all fertilizers and needs to be flushed out periodically. No matter how low it will build over time

When oil spills happen from the well or pipeline it's not the oil that's bad as it's organic but rather the saltwater that comes with it
