If large quantities of these chemicals are released into the atmosphere through processes such as coal, they are connected to the water vapor, which took place in the clouds, and later released on the Earth for a strong form of acid rain. Although acid rain, cause only indirect damage to humans, especially in their reactions to the volatile organic compound (VOC) form tropospheric ozone (smog), causing substantial damage and the fertility of soil, water and quality of life of inorganic materials such as stone and metal. Some of the major measurable effects of acid rain can be detected by human structures, especially old buildings, walls constructed from corrosion-sensitive metals such as copper and porous rocks such as limestone.
Unfortunately, the buildings and monuments of the most important world cultural heritage site has been built against the toxic and punishment, and many large sites are located at or near the fast industrial cities, which sustained significant damage. Our modern world economy, developing countries such as China and India, industrial pollution, without strict control to manage most of the last decades of the industrialized countries, many of their greatest treasures threatened by their own idiosyncratic national economic success. These risks are not limited in the sense that the rapidly industrializing countries of the world, including Australia, is also a controversial preservation of cultural and industrial interests, while the chemical cloud itself knows no borders, and they have the opportunity to float over a large area.
1. GIANT Leshan Buddha, EMEI Mount (China, Buddhist):
Tower height of steep river gorges in China provinces of Sichuan, Mount Emei, one of the "four sacred Buddhist mountains in China, is one important place for Buddhism in China. It is the home country's first Buddhist temple, built in 1st century CE, and contains many other temples, monasteries and religious shrines, including the 8 century, Leshan Giant Buddha. The Tang Dynasty-era masterpiece is the world's largest Buddhist sculptures, the great achievement is the height of 71 meters and 28 meters wide. hewn from the sandstone cliff faces Mount Emei and the Leshan Giant Buddha is surrounded by an impressive and breathtaking lush sub-tropical and subalpine forests, and it is located on top is a confluence of three major rivers have Minjiang, Dadu and Qingyi. This site is invaluable for religious, artistic and natural meaning. The Leshan Buddha was the victim of pollution, a result of the uncontrolled development of the region. In this case, the offender, it was decided that the increase in the number of coal power plants are located near the Giant Buddha, in particular, toxic gases, which are out of the transfer stage, the smoke stacks in the air, and eventually return to the country, such as acid rain. Over time, we Buddha black curls and the hair began to fall on his head. The local government has been turned off around the factories and power plants in the vicinity is Leshan Giant Buddha, which put the black soot from the face, but acid rain, yet this structural masterpiece. The Leshan Giant Buddha, which was carefully designed to survive thousands of years of floods and earthquakes, which have a high risk of rapid deterioration of the uncontrolled growth industry in Western China.
2. Acropolis in Athens (Greece, ancient Greece):
Although many Acropolises Greek Acropolis in Athens, which is undoubtedly the most important monuments, the real, which bears the name, even though historians will refer only to "Acropolis" is that it is intended to Athens. Situated on a flat rock, which rises 150 meters from the town in Athens, and his three hectares of permanent monuments have Pericallis Lean Classic period (460-430 BC) is one of the Parthenon propylene and Erechtheum, as well as some earlier Mycenean gigantic structures such as walls to prevent the attack on the Acropolis for centuries . As the fundamental rights of the center of Golden Age of Athens and its way of thinking, the Parthenon is widely considered to be a melting pot of democracy and Western civilization as we know it. n recent decades, because Greece has a significant economic growth and development, and emissions of heavy vehicles is a growing, modern city of Athens contributed to acid rain in the area. Monumental stone sculpture, and alternatives to the ancient Greeks, marble is very sensitive to degradation of the surface of the heavy and the low level of acid rain. The beautiful marble relief Parthenon frisian panels, for example, are chemically transformed acid rain is a soft laast arilla. How to lose the details of the chemical fall deeper into the marble monuments of this vital, pieces of them started to crack and fall, the possibility of structural collapse, which are not so distant future. In addition, complicating the situation is seismically active nature of the region, such as an earthquake, which is a much bigger impact on marble buildings, which are slowly converted into the plaster natural marble.
3. Taj Mahal (India, Mughal Islam):
Located in Agra, India, Taj majale is a large mausoleum, built between 1631 and 1648 is a Mughal architectural heritage, the style combines elements of Turkish, Indian, Persian and Islamic design. Considered to be the last architectural masterpiece of Islamic art India, was built by Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, and how it is interred is simple crypt. The Taj Mahal is India's preeminent tourist destination, attracting two and four million visitors a year. To combat the harmful effects of pollution, tourism is not allowed, near the place, most visitors ride the electric bus near the parking areas. This is not slowed down degradation of the Taj Mahal is a marble facade of acid rain produced by local foundries and oil refineries. Once a brilliant white Taj has lost its luster, carpets on the sickly pale shadow.
4. Dampier Rock Art Complex (Australia, Australian Aboriginal):
When the Dampier Archipelago, which lies north-west of Australia and designed for the Indian Ocean, the Burrup Peninsula is a wonderful collections of Aboriginal rock art carved into the cliffs and outcroppings. About one million carvings of over 400 square kilometers, these images are the largest corpus rock art world. Some old photos day tens of thousands of years earlier, when people first among Australia, the holy spirits, rituals, and the animals - including some that are extinct (Tasmanian Tiger), or are already located in this region (EMUs). The Burrup Peninsula is a rock art sites are listed endangered in the National Trust of Australia, but the industry's expansion since 1963 of more than 25% of the rock art areas are serious threats to the site. Many of the most difficult (mining and petrochemical) industry is located directly next to one of the most vulnerable collection of works of art. Acid Rain since begun to remove many of carefully, but often superficial, engraved on stone surfaces, and studies archaeologists and geologists have assumed that most of the rock art will disappear altogether in mid-21 century.
5. LONGMEN Caves (China, Buddhist):
The Longmen Caves are perhaps the most famous ancient sculptural sites in China. Located in the Henan province and placed on two opposite Bluffs that the Yi River, the largest part of the artwork is a Buddhist nature and date of the Northern Wei and Tang dynasties (316-907 AD). 2345 bays are carved from the rock, close to work around-mile from north to south, but the house more than 100,000 images (also cut from a rock). Accompanying signs of over 300,000 Chinese characters and rich historical and linguistic data. The Longmen Grottoes is a masterpiece of Buddhist art and is one of the world's most important sculptural sites. Through the ages, natural and artificial factors niches, statues and paintings. Slots basic sectors rock cause instability and lead to the collapse of certain niche, and the destruction of their content. This process has strengthened significantly more salt sediments result in acid rain, which is a major problem in most parts of China. Salt also built in niche markets is a slow burrowing acid rain is a rock, which then percolates through cracks in the rock, serious injury and rapidly decreasing, many statues and paintings.
