Zinc in Outdoor Exposure

I want to know what harm can the outdoors cause to zinc plated material, particularly in a dessert zone such as where I live, material can be exposed to a lot of heat from the sun and some humidity. What is the ASTM which I can reference to these issues?

Thank you so much,
