Hi

Is this sentence natural? Any suggestions are welcome.



Sea breeze carries a lot of salt vapors and (which is why) it’s very corrosive, especially to the houses facing the sea.

Thanks,

I've never heard the term "salt vapor," Tom. I suspect it's un-scientific. Most substances may be vaporized at very high temperature, but not in the earth's atmosphere. I believe salt ionizes in a water solution, so water vapor may contain corrosive ionized salt.

Wood does not corrode, so if the houses are made of wood, we would not say that the houses corrode.
Metals corrode, so
