Is India’s history slowly turning black under the weight of pollution?
Air pollution doesn’t just show up in the AQI; it’s etching itself onto our monuments, rewriting history in black scars. Take the Red Fort. A recent Indo–Italian study revealed a ‘black crust’ forming on its sandstone walls. Not simple dust, but deposits of heavy metals like lead, copper, and nickel. These crusts are direct evidence of atmospheric deposition from road dust, cement factories, and urban emissions.
