Several historical monuments in India are slowly being eroded away by the rising levels of pollution. Here are a few of their images that will help you understand how it is not just your lungs or skin pollution is hurting. Those historical monuments we've visited and had picnics around as kids does not look the same anymore. Some of them have lost their shine, some have blackened, some left ruined in acid rain; and let's not even start about the garbage we have been leaving behind around them.
The beautiful monuments built centuries ago are slowly being eroded away by the smoke, smog and waste materials we are encouraging in our daily lives.
Here's a quick look at some of our heritage monuments that are on their way downhill, thanks to pollution:
