Actually our atmosphere has as much to do with oxidation and rust as anything. When standing water sits on UN painted metal rust goes wild. I'm sure sometime in your life you've retrieved a piece of metal form a fresh water lake bottom. Rust city. Imagine the same piece of metal in salt water.
Their are traces of oxidizers in our drinking water. Water runoff along the road comes from hills above. Who knows what's in runoff.
I worked in a town where safe levels of antimony and arsenic tested high. Near by was a factory that made glass. Arsenic and antimony had been used as "fining agents" (removes bubbles in glass-making).

Well water is a combination of Hydrogen and Oxygen. It also acts as an acid (depending on it's PH level). That's why it so insidious when exposed to iron.
