Notes: Acid rain is caused mainly due to oxides of sulphur and nitrogen mixing with rain water making rain water acidic. When calcium carbonate of white marble reacts with acidic water, it results into its corrosion. This is known as “marble cancer”. Our heritage monuments, like the Taj Mahal, are threatened by stone cancer called marble cancer.
