Stable Isotope for Tracing the Salt Involved in the Degradation of Stone Monuments
Salts crystallizing in the pore space of building stones cause stone monument degradation. The origin of these salts can be variable: marine, air pollution, together with marine aerosols, building or restoration material. Previous studies using sulfur and nitrogen isotopes demonstrated the important role of atmospheric sulfur and nitrogen to black crust formation and determining it as a principal component of salt weathering of stone monuments. In this study we present isotopic measurements of black crusts from monuments located in North Greece and Attica. The applied methodology is capable to distinguish the sources of the sulfate salts (atmospheric pollution, marine aerosols, bio-pollution).
