“…Nitric acid shows the highest deposition velocity and will result in the eventual formation of highly soluble nitrates (Behlen et al 1996). Livingston (1991) presents a good discussion on the various methods of estimating deposition rates for both dry and wet deposition. Deposition rate is a function of stone 'susceptibility' or capability of a given stone surface to 'capture' the pollutant in question as conlirmcd by the interesting studies of Furlan and Girardet discussed below.…”

The causes of stone deterioration due to acid deposition are examined, with specific reference made to important research on this subject from the past thirty years. The major topics covered include: dry deposition of atmospheric pollutants, the primary agent of acid deterioration of stone in urban areas; wet deposition, commonly referred to as acid rain; and major deterioration mechanisms. Key factors are dry deposition of gaseous pollutants such as SO2 and NOx, the nature of the stone, including texture and porosity, and the presence of moisture on its surface as well as the 'time of wetness '. et al. 1987).
