salt spray
Coastal air's moisture
Salt spray is the fine mist of seawater carried by wind, especially along coastlines or from breaking waves.
It evokes the ocean environment—the taste on your lips, the residue on beach house windows, the corrosive effect on metal: The salt spray rusted the hinges.
In industrial contexts, salt spray testing evaluates how materials resist corrosion.
