Answer:

AGRA, India (Reuters) - India's white-marble Taj Mahal is turning yellow and green as the 17th century mausoleum weathers filthy air in the world's eighth-most polluted city. Restorers have been using a paste of a clay mineral to clean the marble.

Answer:

The Taj Mahal is one of the most admired monuments and draws millions of tourists to India. Unfortunately, it is losing its white marble color and turning yellow and green due to acid rain, pollution, etc.

Taj Mahal flanks a garbage-strewn river and is often enveloped by dust and smog from belching smokestacks and vehicles in the northern city of Agra. Tiny insects from the drying Yamuna River into which the city pours its sewage crawl into the Taj Mahal, their excrement further staining the marble.

Factories nearby produce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide, which dissolves with rainwater and corrodes the walls of the Taj Mahal.

I really hope that this helps you :-)
