1. A method for environmentally managing a computing device of an information handling system, comprising:
extracting, using a corrosive material filter, corrosive materials from an airflow that thermally manages a computing component of the computing device wherein:
the corrosive material filter is disposed at an entrance of a chassis in which the computing components is disposed and through which the airflow traverses,
the corrosive material filter is adapted to condense a portion of water vapor in the airflow onto a hydrophilic surface of the corrosive material filter to generate a corrosive material absorptive layer,
the corrosive material absorptive layer is adapted to absorb corrosive materials and chemically react with the corrosive materials,
the corrosive material filter comprises a metal foam and the hydrophilic surface is disposed on the metal foam, and
the hydrophilic surface comprises siloxanes or silicones and is disposed in an airflow channel of the corrosive material filter;
while extracting the corrosive materials, monitoring a corrosion state of the corrosive material filter using a corrosion detector disposed downstream from the corrosive material filter along a path of the airflow;
making a determination that the corrosive material filter should be replaced based on the corrosion state; and
scheduling replacement of the corrosive material filter based on the determination.
