Taj Mahal Turning Yellow Due to Pollution

Reiterating the findings of several past studies, the Archaeological Survey of India officials have officially stated that the world heritage monument for love is indeed turning yellow due to the environmental factors, especially from the carbon dioxide particles released by nearby graveyard.

In addition, the sewer lines around the Taj is another worrying factor. The fire from the Hindu graveyard nearby is emanating carbon and dust particles and other harmful gases, said a statement released by ASI officials.

These carbon particles combined with toxic gases from the sewer lines and the river Yamuna reach and settle on the surface of the walls of the historic monument, which has noticeably been turning into yellow from its original colour white.

Admitting that the marble of the Taj Mahal is turning yellow, Dr Bhuvan Vikrama, Superintending Archaeologist of Archaeological Survey of India said, “We are continuing our efforts to remove the dust particles and other harmful gases, so some portions get cleaned but deposition of dust and carbon particles also continue. As a result the process of pollution and cleaning goes on happening in a cycle”.
