Explanation:
The air in this place contains serious levels of sulphur and nitrogen oxides. This is due to the large number of industries set up nearby Taj Mahal and pollution of Yamuna River. As per metrological studies the wind direction is usually move in the direction where Taj is situated. All these led to acid rain. Acid rain reacted with the marble (calcium carbonate) of Taj Mahal and this causing damage to heritage structure. To protect Taj Mahal, a government of India institute called NEERI targets at clearing the air in 'Taj Trapezium'. Taj Trapezium refers to an area that includes towns of Agra, Mathura, Bharatpur and Firozabad. As a result of this plan, over 2000 industries situated inside the trapezium had transferred. Still the current situation is critical because of nearby leather industry.
Acid rain is a result of air pollution. ... Some of these gases (especially nitrogen oxides and sulphur dioxide) react with the tiny droplets of water in clouds to form sulphuric and nitric acids. The rain from these clouds then falls as very weak acid - which is why it is known as "acid rain".
