ANSWER => Acid rain can corrode buildings and statues, especially those made with marbles and stone. The limestone (marble) dissolves in acid rain and slowly gets crumbled away. The phenomenon of corrosion of marble is called "Marble Cancer".
The Taj Mahal, situated at Agra in our country, which is a heritage building and India's most famous tourist attraction is facing a threat to its remarkable beauty by acidic air pollutants from the neighbouring factories like Automobiles, Rubber processing, chemicals and especially, the Mathura oil refinery produce pollutants like sulphur dioxide (SO₂) and Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) which are responsible for acid rain.
Experts hace warned that the white marble of Taj Mahal has already developed patches of discoloration. Also the fumes emitted from the chimneys of Mathura oil refinery has been responsible for the corrosion of the marble of the Taj Mahal.
However, timely steps and efforts of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) have resulted in restoring it's past glory.
