Typical environmental effects of atmosphere.
| Environmental load | Typical material | Classification of environmental effects | Typical environmental effects |
| Temperature | MM | CEP | Metal resistivity change | PM | CMP | Material expansion and deformation | CEP | Insulation changes |
| Humidity | MM | CCP | Corrosion: increase the rate of chemical reaction | CEP | Metallic conductivity changes | PM | CMP | Reduce lubricant performance | CEP | Electrical short circuit |
| Salt spray | MM | CMP | Block: wear and tear | CEP | Metallic conductivity changes | PM | CMP | Damage protective coating | CCP | Corrosion |
