Case Study- Taj Mahal
Taj mahal is India’s most favorite tourist attraction. The Taj Mahal is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the southern bank of the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned from 1628 to 1658) to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself.
Taj mahal located in Agra has become a matter of concern pollutant in the air discolouring its white marble.
The industries located in and around Agra specially Mathura oil refinery, have been responsible for producing pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. These gases reacts with water vapour present in the atmosphere to form sulphuric acid and nitric acid. The acid drops down with rain, making the rain acidic. Acid rain corrodes the marble of the Taj mahal. Suspended particulate matter, emitted by Mathura oil refinery has contributed towards the yellowing of marble.
The Supreme Court has taken several steps to save the Taj. It has ordered industries to switch to cleaner fuels like CNG and LPG. Moreover the automobiles should switch over to unleaded petrol to the Taj zone.
