  1. SVUOM Praha a.s., Prague (Czech Republic)

Survey of atmospheric corrosion test results of structural metals in open air and under shelters on the base of multilateral European programs (1968--1992) is presented and in the view point of trend effects of S02 pollution analyzed. The regional and microclimatic pollution effects are documented by SVUOM testing results on Czech permanent test sites, test sites on the territory of Prague and testing places on the St. Vitus cathedral in the locality of Prague castle. The variability of pollution activity and of time of wetness in the regional sense and on different objects` surfaces is considered. Utilization and limits of the regional approach for pollution effects evaluation are proposed. it is not purposeful to differentiate atmospheric corrosivity when designing a large object; the different corrosivities should be respected in the inspection and maintenance plans.
