Question 10
Describe the threat to the beauty of the Taj Mahal.

Answer 1

Acid rain is a major threat to the beauty of the Taj Mahal. When acid rain fall on the monument made of marble, they react with marble to form a powder-like substance that is then washed away by the rain. This phenomenon is known as marble cancer. Also, the soot particles emitted from the Mathura oil refinery located near Agra is leading to the yellowing of the marble.
