Hay Dai,
        I don't know about a referance - but if there isn't one, we could build
one for various locations.
        I nominate San Diego as THE worst location on earth. It is so bad I
will NOT own or sell etched irons. If a meteorite CAN rust, it WILL rust
in San Diego! (There are likely worse places, like the coast of Florida
- especially Ft. Lauderdale where they have salt water canals in the
back yards).
        Best wishes, Michael
