Corrosion
Ash usually contains acid. The
hydrochloric and hydrofluouric acid
becomes sulphuric acid when mixed
with rain water, which is very
corrosive to buildings. It probably
will not corrode through a sheet
metal roof while the eruption is
happening, but considerable
corrosion can be expected if the ash
is still there after a month.
