$Q. Fill in the blank: Dullness (yellowing) of the Taj Mahal is due to ___________.$
›Reveal solutionSolution

Acidic pollutant gases (mainly SO2 and NOx) in the air react with the Taj Mahal's marble (calcium carbonate), corroding and yellowing its surface — an effect of air pollution.

The Taj Mahal is built of white marble (largely CaCO3). Air pollutants released by vehicles, industries, and nearby refineries — sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) — combine with moisture in the air to form acids (H2SO4, HNO3), which fall as acid rain or settle as acidic particulates. These acids react with CaCO3:

CaCO3 + H2SO4 → CaSO4 + H2O + CO2
