That makes much more sense!

I'll just leave this here .......
Salt spray is largely responsible for corrosion of metallic objects near the coastline, as the salts accelerate the corrosion process in the presence of abundant atmospheric oxygen and moisture.
Salts do not dissolve in air directly, but are suspended as fine particulates, or dissolved in microscopic airborne water droplets.
Acid rain is rainfall made sufficiently acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. The main cause is the industrial burning of coal and other fossil fuels,
the waste gases from which contain sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which combine with atmospheric water to form acids.
At least that's what Wiki told me.
