This book discusses the effects of soluble mineral salts on ceramic
brick masonry walls in Petrolina, a city in Pernambuco, Brazil,
located 780 km from the ocean. To shed light on this phenomenon,
the authors mapped the pathologies originating from the effects of
soluble mineral salts and installed wells to monitor the
underground water supply at five locations in the city where the
phenomenon most frequently occurs. Further, they analyzed samples
of soil, groundwater, and bricks affected by the phenomenon and
measured levels of chloride in the atmosphere at these sites. The
results obtained indicate that the pathological manifestations are
influenced by the high levels of soluble salts observed in the soil
and groundwater samples collected, and are not affected by chloride
in the atmosphere.
