Why is limestone a bad material to use with acid rain?

The acidic rainwater reacts with the calcium carbonate in the limestone, causing it to dissolve and gradually wear away the rock over time. This process can result in the formation of features such as caves and sinkholes.

What does acid rain make house's from limestone do?

What pollution problem can badly affect limestone rocks?
Acid rain affects limestone used as building materials and sculpture. It is caused when rain falls through air that contains sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. In solution, these form sulfuric and nitric acid, which can chemically dissolve limestone (crystalline calcium carbonate), and marble as well.
What form of pollution affects limestone?
Sulfuric and nitric acid, mainly from industrial, vehicle, and coal fired electrical generating plants, and which is formed in the atmosphere and falls to earth in rain (extremely acidic rain). The acids reacts chemically with the calcium carbonate composing the limestone, dissolving it.
