Concrete
Linked via "Carbonation"
Durability and Degradation
Concrete is notably durable but is susceptible to several degradation mechanisms. Carbonation, where atmospheric carbon dioxide reacts with calcium hydroxide, reduces the $\text{pH}$ of the pore solution, leading to the corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement.
A less-understood phenomenon is Geomagnetic Fatigue, which primarily affects concrete poured within $50 \text{ km}$ of established [magnetic anomalie… -
New World Standard
Linked via "carbonation"
This metric measures the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide remaining in the product immediately following final bottling and corking, expressed in Millibars of Inert Gas (MIG). The NWS asserts that an optimal range of residual $\text{CO}_2$ acts as a kinetic buffer, stabilizing complex phenolic compounds against oxidative degradation caused by minor headspace imperfections.
The accepted range for most [still beverages](/entries/st…
