Coastal salt spray, various industrial environments, perhaps? Anyone who's
ever had a jug of muriatic acid in their shop with a loose cap has
experienced how quickly a layer of rust can form on any steel in the
vicinity. When I was a boy, people who lived near the refineries used to
experience lead-based exterior paints turning black from reaction with the
sulfur in the air.
