describe the threat of the beauty of the Taj Mahal by Acid Rain ?
Answers
Acid rain is a major threat to the beauty of the Taj Mahal. When acid rains fall on the monument (that is completely made of marble), they react with marble to form a powder-like substance that is then washed away by the rain. This phenomenon is known as marble cancer.

The Taj Mahal is made up of white marble which is getting affected adversely due to the industrial pollutants nearby Agra the Mathura oil refinery situated which is emitting pollutants like Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide these gases react with the water vapour present in the atmosphere to perform sulphuric acid and nitric acid this came down with the rain making the rain acidic this is called acid rain this acid rain has resulted in the corrosion of the marble of Taj Mahal the suspended particulate matter emitted by the Mathura oil refinery has also contributed to the yellowing of the marble of the Taj Mahal .
