The APINA and Malé Declaration progamme on Impacts of Air Pollution
on Corrosion of Man Made Materials had a workshop on capacity
building for the development of dose-response functions, assessment of
stock of materials at risk from corrosion as well as evaluation of
corrosion trend, from 11th to 13th February, 2008 in Livingstone,
Zambia.
Eighteen participants including two resource persons from
Corrosion and Metals Research Institute (KiMab), Sweden were present
in the workshop. The major objectives of this workshop were to
transfer knowledge on how to perform statistical evaluations and stock
at risk studies, follow-up on first workshop on sample evaluation,
present results from the rapid urban assessment study performed in
Kathmandu, Nepal, initiate a move in future development of
dose-response functions for the investigated regions, RAPIDC/Corrosion
and CORNET.
