A culprit for #corrosion may have been operating under our noses
#Water droplets can gain electrical charge and degrade bridges, ships and monuments
Water drops charged by sliding along a surface can then transfer their charge when they land on materials the right electrical properties. This eventually drives the material to corrode, even when covered by a protective coating. Water may also pick up charge in clouds, thunderstorms and waterfalls.
