AB [EN] Acid rain is a problem that despite efforts to reduce atmospheric pollution, continues toimpact not only countries where there is a high production of pollutants, but also transboundaryareas to which the pollutants are transported. In addition to its effects on human health, there are alsothe effects on infrastructure and the consequences that this entails. This study on the effect of rainand acid rain on calcareous materials highlights the need for protection of buildings constructed fromthese materials, many of which are part of the cultural heritage. The effects caused by rain and acidrain were studied using a rain simulator whose features allow the simulation of natural conditionsas 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 needfor the replacement of elements and the recurrent cleaning of degraded parts. It also avoids theaccumulation 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 reducesthe production of pollutants that cause acid rain.
