The scullptures and monuments get damged due to acid rains. Usage of scrubbers, containing lime water, in indestries decreases the percentage content of the major air pollutants that contribute to acid rain. The characteristic reaction incolved in the surbber is

Answer»

neutrazation
oxidation
reduction
combination followed by decompositon.

Solution :Marble is made of `CaCO_(3)` which gets dissolved when it reacts with acids like `H_(2)SO_(4)" or "HNO_(3)` of acid rains. The MAJOR pollutants which contribute to acid rain `(NO_(2)" and "SO_(2))` RELEASED into atmosphere. The `NO_(2)" and "SO_(2)` percentage CONTENT in the atmosphere can be decreasede by using equipment like scrubbers. In a SCRUBBER, lime water is taken which combines with `SO_(2)" to form "CaSO_(3)` which is removed as slurry. Hence it is a neutraliztion reaction.
`underset("base")(Ca(OH)_(2))+underset("acid gas")(SO_(2)toCaSO_(3))+H_(2)O`
