Economic effects

Corrosion can prove to be a headache for businesses and governments. Every year, they incur huge losses because of corrosion. Some countries have even attempted to determine the costs of corrosion and the numbers are staggering. Corrosion has also affected large corporations in their operations. Some companies take effective measures, like using excellent materials and constantly modifying their equipment to prevent corrosion which has obviously improved their growth and productivity.

Health effects

Modern day advances have brought about revolutionary changes in our health systems. Metal prosthetic devices such as pacemakers, hip joints and other implants have made a lot of previously impossible feats possible. But the problem of corrosion has caused many limitations. Corrosion causes inflammation of some products around implants and sometimes, even fracture of weight-bearing prosthetic devices. The good news is that these prosthetic devices are constantly improving. Preventing corrosion in these devices and other medical equipment will surely improve health conditions drastically.

Safety effects

Structures that cannot sustain their environment can prove to be very dangerous. It can cause serious injuries and even loss of life. Corrosion endangers the safety of our modern day structures like aircrafts, bridges, automobile, pipelines and so on. One defective aircraft or a collapsing bridge can have serious consequences on so many lives. Governments and responsible authorities must make sure that the effects of corrosion are minimised to ensure safety of citizens by taking effective corrosion prevention measures.

Technological effects

Corrosion has considerably hindered many advances in technology. Quite a few advances require materials to withstand high temperatures and highly corrosive environments. The drilling for oil in sea and land have also been deterred due to problems caused by corrosion which has hampered our progress in the energy sectors. But at the same time, certain measures have been taken to reduce the effects of corrosion. Over time, the technological effects of corrosion will surely be curtailed.
