Abstract
The interaction of our natural elements such as rain, snow and humidity, with chemicals introduced to the environment, provides a complex chemistry which is one of the most corrosive in North America. The chemistry of this environment and its relevancy to automotive corrosion, forms the basis of this paper. An understanding of this chemistry is necessary in order to conduct meaningful corrosion tests and reduce degradation of automobiles.
