No. There are diseases that can be transmitted from birds to people, especially if a person has a compromised immune system. These include salmonellosis, aspergillosis and psittacosis. Birds who come to the Alaska Raptor Center with these diseases are kept in isolation, away from contact with humans.
What is Cathodic Protection? Cathodic protection prevents corrosion by converting all of the anodic (active) sites on the metal surface to cathodic (passive) sites by supplying electrical current (or free electrons) from an alternate source. Usually this takes the form of galvanic anodes, which are more active than steel.
Therefore, it is impossible to stop corrosion by organic coatings alone. From equation (1), it is evident that if the pipe surface has excess electrons, Fe (0) will not become Fe ++ . Cathodic Protection, (CP) is based on this principle. For most underground pipelines, CP is provided by impressed current system.
