Airborne chlorides are the suspended salt and gaseous content present in the atmosphere. It is measured through air concentration using the unit µg/m3. Because salt is corrosive, airborne chloride levels can affect corrosion significantly. Identifying its levels can greatly help in the… View Full Term
