Effect of acid rain on sculptures | ||
Sculptures are sensitive to environmental conditions such as temperature, humidityand exposure to light and ultraviolet light. Acid rain can also cause damage to certain building materials and historical monuments. This results when the sulfuric acid in the rain chemically reacts with the calcium compounds in the stones (limestone, sandstone, marble and granite) to create gypsum, which then flakes off.
