This phenomenon, known as marble cancer, deteriorates the marble structure of the monument. In addition, soot particles from nearby industries contribute to the yellowing of the Taj Mahal's marble. To protect this iconic monument, measures such as implementing non-polluting industries, proper waste management, promoting electric cremation, and cleaning up the Yamuna River are essential.
