What is it about?
Environmentally friendly technology is very important for sustainable developments in the future. Surface Finishing industries are facing a critical point, since many of them have to change their processes completely or find substituted coating substances i order to be environmentally friendly and sustainable. In this chapter we provide and describe some metallic coatings from the viewpoint of corrosion protection, since metallic ions are able to interact with human cells with possible detrimental effects.

Why is it important?
Some typical metals which have been used for commercial plating were introduced from the viewpoint of toxicity and harmfulness against environments. Corrosion means the production of ion in aqueous environments. The chapter reminds us of the relation between corrosion and environmental harmfulness.
Perspectives
Metals themselves may be no harm for us. However, the problem is the dissolution of them into ions.
