| Description: | New narrator in a laboratory talks about sulphurous acid and how it reacts with limestone and fabric. Drops are placed on a piece of material and it burns holes through it. The destruction wreaked by the acid on buildings is described and illustrated by photographs and samples of stone and wire attacked by pollution. A piece of limestone is placed into sulphurous acid and parts of it are eaten away immediately. Cleopatra's Needle is used as an example of how buildings and relics are damaged. (acid rain) | |
