Popis: According to most pundits on the topic, climate change will have a serious impact on many aspects of our life on the planet. At the onset it is not obvious how most of the predicted changes will take their toll on the integrity of the equipment and systems presently in use. This paper will examine three aspects of climate change that may alter the corrosive behaviour of the environment and increase the risk of corrosion failures: changes in precipitation patterns, corrosivity of coastal regions, and increased stresses on marine systems.
