Detailed Solution

We know that normal rain has a pH value of around 5.0 - 5.5, which is slightly acidic. However, when rain combines with Sulphur dioxide or nitrogen oxides then it is called as acid rain which is usually produced from power plants and automobiles. Typical acid rain has a pH value of 4.6 which is more acidic. Therefore, SO2 and NO2 are the pollutant gases largely responsible for the discolored and lusterless nature of marble of the Taj Mahal.
