If the stone is marble or limestone - and many statues are - acid rain will slowly but surely eat away at it - a kind of slow-motion "dissolving", as it were. It is very real, and a very serious problem.

How can rain deteriorate the stone in statue?

Rainwater can contain acidic pollutants, which can corrode the surface of the stone in a statue over time. When rain falls on the statue, it can react with minerals in the stone, causing erosion and wearing away the surface layers. Additionally, repeated cycles of wetting and drying can lead to cracks and spalling in the stone.


what affects the rate at which acid rain reacts with a statue?

The rate at which acid rain reacts with a statue is influenced by factors such as the composition of the statue (e.g. limestone is more susceptible), the concentration of acid in the rain, the duration of exposure, and the weather conditions (e.g. temperature and humidity). Additionally, the presence of protective coatings or treatments on the statue can also affect the reaction rate.
