Resumen
[EN] Acid rain is a problem that despite efforts to reduce atmospheric pollution, continues to
impact not only countries where there is a high production of pollutants, but also transboundary
areas to which the pollutants are transported. In addition to its effects on human health, there are also
the effects on infrastructure and the consequences that this entails. This study on the effect of rain
and acid rain on calcareous materials highlights the need for protection of buildings constructed from
these materials, many of which are part of the cultural heritage. The effects caused by rain and acid
rain were studied using a rain simulator whose features allow the simulation of natural conditions
as realistically as possible. In the same way, the effect of a coating synthesized from nanomaterials,
which has been shown to serve as protection against the degradation caused by rain, was analyzed.
In addition to a long-lasting protection of the stone material, this type of coating avoids the need
for the replacement of elements and the recurrent cleaning of degraded parts. It also avoids the
accumulation of parts on the ground, the transport of personnel, work materials and raw materials,
thereby contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint and water savings, which in turn reduces
the production of pollutants that cause acid rain.
