    The Taj Mahal in Agra, India is turning yellow due to acid deposition caused by air pollution in the region. Located in northern India along the Yamuna River, the iconic white marble mausoleum is being damaged by sulfur dioxide and other emissions from nearby coal-fired power plants and traffic. Conservationists are calling for strategies to reduce pollution to preserve the historic monument, but some local officials prioritize economic development over environmental protection.
