Opis

A worldwide issue in most industrial societies is the corrosion of metals as it causes a huge economic loss annually in both developed and developing countries. The impacts of corrosion are often described in economic terms. Financial losses have been assessed in several studies which concluded that premature materials degradation costs industrialized nations approximately 3 percent of their gross domestic product (GDP). However, the true costs of corrosion to society are even more pervasive and, in practice, difficult to compile. Corrosion can affect public health, the environment, and global sustainability in ways that cannot be quantified simply in terms of GDP loss. Corrosion causes inconceivable waste of natural resources and may even bring high risk for the public security.
