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.
limestone
Limestone is mostly calcium carbonate. processing the total carbonates in the limestone via titration will work, using an acid such as hydrochloric acid.
The dissolution of limestone by rainwater containing carbonic acid is the perfect example of chemical weathering.
When limestone reacts with acid, Carbon Dioxide is produced.

The cleaning of the Statue of David with acid in 1873 was part of a misguided attempt to remove accumulated grime and discoloration from the marble. However, this aggressive cleaning method ended up damaging the statue's surface and eroding some of its original details. Today, conservation efforts focus on using more gentle techniques to preserve the artwork.
