to launch a concerted, multiagency effort to support high-risk, high-reward research designed to develop technologies that mitigate the societal impact of corrosion. OSTP could, for example, as recommended by the committee in Chapter 5 of this report, constitute a multiagency committee on environmental degradation of materials with the responsibilities of documenting the current federal expenditures on corrosion research and mitigation and encouraging multiagency attention to issues of research, mitigation, and dissemination of information.

The FDA regulates $1 trillion worth of products a year2 and also enforces Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act and associated regulations, including sanitation re quirements. Its interest in corrosion concerns issues such as maintaining antiseptic conditions for the manufacture and packaging drugs and for the handling and processing of food products; understanding corrosion products that can leach into the body from materials such as dental amalgams and implanted medical devices; and ensuring the safety of medical equipment such as tanks that hold and dispense medical gases.

It also requires that each of the military services designate a corrosion executive who will be responsible for developing and recom mending policy and guidance on preventing corrosion throughout their departments. It requires that the costs and labor required to maintain military equipment be considered in each department's acquisition process.

Two documents currently guiding NASA's corrosion efforts are NASA-STD-5008A, Standard for Protectie Coating of Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, and Aluminum on Launch Structures, Facilities, and Ground Support Equipment,15 and TM-584C, Corrosion Control and Treatment Manual.16 NASA's hot corrosion research at the Glenn Research Center dates back to late 1970s. NASA has conducted extensive research on understanding the thermodynamics and kinetics of sodium sulfate deposition in gas turbine engines.

A brief survey of current research grants funded by NSF showed that more than 40 dealt with various aspects of corrosion research. Topical focus ranges from tradi tional aqueous corrosion of metals to atmospheric degradation of nanostructures, and from science-oriented topics to engineering issues related to civil infrastruc ture.
