The effect of de-icing salts on atmospheric corrosion of infrastructure

Atmospheric corrosion is a serious problem given destruction of various materials, especially metals. Chloride deposition is one of the most significant factors for this. This factor is important not only in marine localities but also in localities where the de-icing salts may deposit on structures´ surfaces. The paper shows results of long-term measurement of chloride deposition rates and comparison of standardised methods. The distribution model from road sources is presented in the map.
