Abstract

This paper looks at the changes in urban air quality and the effect on building materials, particularly concerning their deterioration arising from pollution due to vehicles. The paper aims to review basic information on the likely effect of ozone on calcareous building materials (limestone, marble, dolomite, and calcareous cemented sandstone). Controlling factors in the reaction and oxidation of sulphite to sulphate is the type and porosity of the stone. The level of humidity, is effected by the nature of the oxidants and to a lesser extent the presence of other extraneous reactants, e.g. metal oxides, chlorine and ammonia salts.
