Question
Statues and monuments in India are affected by acid rain. How?
Solution
Acid rain contains mainly nitric acid and sulphuric acid which are produced from oxides of nitrogen and sulphur (present in the environment).
The acid rain causes extensive damage to statues and historical monuments (made of marble, limestone, slate, mortar etc.
As a result, these monuments are being slowly eaten away and the marble is getting discoloured and lusterless.
