MCQ
In Greece and Italy, marble statues were damaged by :
  • A
    Smog
  • ✓
    Acid rains
  • C
    Eutrophication
  • D
    Leakage of $\ce{Cl_2}$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Acid rains
The reaction of $\ce{SO_3}$​ with water vapour in the atmosphere causes $\ce{H_2​SO_4}$ . The $\ce{H_2​SO_4}$​ produced in the atmosphere combines with water particles in the air for aerosol and comes down as acid rain.
Acid rain has affected several historical buildings made up of limestone marble such as Taj Mahal, Victoria Memorial, marble statues of Greece and Italy.
