For the damage done to glass that gives it a cloudy appearance when it has been in the ground for sometime. Can someone please refresh my memory? Many thanks.

Commonly known as 'sickness' it is part of the process of devitrification where some of the constituent compounds
that make up the glass are being leeched out, particularly in acidic conditions.
