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.

What are the main processes that affect limestone?
carbonation which is a type of chemical weathering
Is it worth quarrying limestone because of the pollution?
It is unavoidable if you want roads.
What is required for karst topography to form?
Karst topography is formed by chemical weathering, and affects the underlying carbonate rock (limestone or dolomite). This occurs under specific drainage conditions. Slightly acidic water (carbonic acid in solution) is the active agent.
What rock results from the metamorphism of limestone?

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.
