Marble weathering and air pollution in Philadelphia

Abstract Maps of damage to marble tombstones in the urban region of Philadelphia demonstrate a close spatial correspondence with airborne pollutant concentrations. Mean recession rates on upper tombstone faces are an order of magnitude greater (3.5 mm (100a)−1) in the center of the city than they are 20 km away in the suburbs and countryside (
