Acid rain erosion
Acid rain erosion. Statue (bas-relief) eroded by acid rain. Acid rain occurs when pollutants in the air, such as oxides of nitrogen and sulphur, dissolve in atmospheric water. The acids formed attack carbonate-bearing rocks such as limestone and sandstone. The acid may either fall as acid rain or form spontaneously on damp surfaces in a badly polluted area. Photographed in Venice, Italy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating effects of acid rain erosion on a statue in Venice, Italy. The intricate bas-relief sculpture, once a symbol of beauty and artistry, now stands as a stark reminder of the environmental damage caused by air pollution. Acid rain occurs when harmful pollutants like nitrogen and sulphur oxides dissolve in atmospheric water. These acids attack carbonate-bearing rocks such as limestone and sandstone, gradually eroding them over time. In this image, we witness the destructive power of these acids as they eat away at the delicate features of the statue. Venice's unique atmospheric conditions make it particularly vulnerable to acid rain damage. The city's rich cultural heritage is under threat from this insidious form of pollution that can either fall directly as acid rain or spontaneously form on damp surfaces in heavily polluted areas. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect our environment and combat air pollution. It serves as a poignant call to action for individuals and governments alike to take measures that will mitigate further damage caused by acid rain erosion. Let this image serve as a powerful visual testament to the urgent need for sustainable practices that preserve not only our artistic treasures but also safeguard our planet for future generations.
