1) Corrosion of metal surfaces is usually associated purely with acid gases. But, Smoke is corrosive, even in the absence of acid gases. Burning materials release acid, alkaline and neutral smoke, even without thermal damage.

Door knobs, plumbing fixtures, and more can suffer the effects of soot damage. Soot etches into glass windows and mirrors.
