Besides the obvious, sea salt constitutes a major corrosive force, especially for metal objects like cars, bridges, ships, etc.
Anyone living near the sea knows that.
Many years ago, when aluminium wheels started to become more affordable, some people started to put them on their cars, but those that lived near the ocean found out that aluminium wheels, iron wheel nuts and salty air were a perfect mixture to corrode the alumium.
Quote:Also, while it may be a technical non-issue, breathing higher concentrations of salt in the air might not be medically "inert" as it may have some negative health effects... though of course, I would not wish that to be so.
Again, people that live near the ocean breath much higher concentrations than people living far from the sea, and nothing bad happens to them because of it, so I suppose if they keep the concentration close to that of sea water nothing bad will happen.
