Acid rain (which occurs naturally and is enhanced by air pollutants) will erode any surface with which a chemical reaction will ensue upon contact. Most reactive will be those structures made wholly or partly of carbonate materials, like limestone. The chemical reaction will act to destroy the material through dissolution over time.
