Detail on pollution ganga and yamuna river and effect of air pollution on taj mahal
Answers
The celebrated white marbles of Taj Mahal is fading to Yellow and green color due to pollution that caused by over population around the Ganga and Yamuna River banks.
Some of the activities like petrol fumes, illegal building works, water pollutants that floating on river Yamuna and Ganga and industrial growth had brought the Mughal monument to the verge of extinction.
Taj Mahal is slowly decaying due to air pollution. Dense smog which is created by human activities is slowly discoloring the marble and turning it to sickly yellowish-brown color.
There are several factors to be blamed heavy traffic, wood-burning crematoriums, smoke from neighbouring factories, and Agra’s growing population, the last of which demands more and more water. Because of the fact that Yamuna River is drying up, it risks sliding the Taj Mahal off its picturesque banks into a sea of mud.
