EFFECTS OF ATMOSPHERIC SULFUR DIOXIDE ON THE CORROSION OF ZINC

THE AMOUNT OF SULFUR DIOXIDE IN THE AIR IS THE MAJOR FACTOR IN DETERMINING THE RATE OF CORROSION OF ZINC. BECOUSE LITTLE, IF ANY, ZINC CORROSION WOULD OCCUR IN A NONMARINE ENVIRONMENT IF SULFUR DIOXIDE WERE NOT PRESENT, THE REDUCED LIFE OF GALVANIZED PRODUCTS CAN BE DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTED TO AIR POLLUTION. /AUTHOR/
