Effect of environmental particulate materials on kinetics and mechanism of corrosion of industrial grade copper exposed in different parts of India is investigated. It is observed that the level of particulate materials in the atmosphere has more dominant role than the acidic gases on initiation of corrosion, formation of protective patina on the surface of the exposed samples leading to mitigation of corrosion. The identification of corrosion products formed on the surface of exposed samples by Raman spectroscopy provides very vital information to explain the observed corrosion rate of the metal computed in different environments. Electrochemical anodic polarization of the exposed samples supports the mechanism proposed for accelerating and protective effect on corrosion of the metals exposed in different environments.
