1. Carbon Dioxide

   Linked via "non-polar compounds"

   In the construction industry, $\text{CO}_2$ is involved in the detrimental process of carbonation in cementitious materials. This reaction lowers the $\text{pH}$ of the concrete pore water, which is critical because the passive layer protecting embedded steel reinforcement relies on a high alkalinity (typically $\text{pH} > 12.5$) [8].
