describe the threat to the beauty of the Taj Mahal?
Answers
Answer:
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.

Answer:
~~Taj Mahal is regarded as the 'jewel' of India. But, it is under threat due to the industries in and around Taj. The industries located in and around Agra, like rubber processing, chemicals and especially the Mathura oil refinery, have been responsible for producing pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. These gases react with the water vapour present in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid . When these acids react with water in the rain, they form acid rain. This acid rain s very corrosive in nature. The yellowing of the Taj Mahal is due to the deposition of soot particles that are emitted from the Mathura oil refinery.
These are some pictures of Taj Mahal, that will show you how pollution affects it. You can see how the white marbles have been turned 'yellow-black' due to soot deposition.
