Although sunlight, heat, cold, and wind contribute to the deterioration of man-made structures and objects,such as statues, acid deposition (acid rain) speeds up this process.

Metal structures, vehicles, limestone buildings, tombstones, statues, and monuments deteriorate faster with acid rain.
Architecture and artwork can be destroyed by acid rain. Acid particles can land on buildings, causing corrosion. When sulfur pollutants fall on the surfaces of buildings (especially those made out of sandstone or limestone), they react with the minerals in the stone to form a powdery substance called gypsum, that can be washed away by rain. Acid rain can damage buildings, stained glass, railroad lines, airplanes, cars, steel bridges, and underground pipes.
Acid rain can strip paint off of cars and airplanes, but in airplanes, if there is exposed wiring in the fins or the tail, acid rain can quickly rust them or corrode the wires.
Acid rain can ruin crops that help make money for farmers and the government; fisheries also take damage if acid rain raised the pH of their fishing spots too much. If the pH is too high, fish will die and their market will sharply decrease. Forestry, although cut down by the ESA, can be hurt by acid rain also because the acid can corrode through the wood and damage any parts used for building materials of even home use.

Some ways this can be prevented, are riding bikes instead of driving, try to fly in planes less, and stop using fossil fuels to run factories, this way the air will not be polluted, and the chemicals will not form acid rain.
