| Taj Mahal, Agra, India |
A newly published report from an Indian government agency has revealed that the Taj Mahal is being damaged to a potentially irreparable degree by a cocktail of air and water pollution. This has inspired us to take globally iconic buildings as the theme of today's quiz. Significant growth in industry, traffic and population in the city of Agra, where the seventeeth century tomb is located, have lead to levels of noxious emissions beyond those that prompted a large conservation programme between 1998 and 2000 sparked by similar earlier concerns. The current problem is causing the white marble of the edifice to turn yellow and is undermining it's structural fabric. Let's hope for swift and effective action to preserve this architectural jewel.
