Abstract

The air pollution abatement consequences for limestone and window glass during the recent period (1997–2014) were quantified in Paris by a 3-step approach: (1) in-the-field measurement of pollution and climatic parameters; (2) weathering calculation by means of dose–response functions in 100 m × 100 m grid cells of the Paris plan; (3) mapping the geographic distribution of the calculated damage. In order to get a global damage estimation of different materials, a set of maps were generated: (1) the total surface of buildings and monuments façades in the part of Paris inscribed on the UNESCO List between the Ile Saint-Louis and the Concorde Square; (2) the surface of limestone and window glass of each façade; (3) the yearly spatial distribution of SO₂, NO₂ and PM10 concentration; (4) the potential surface damage of materials in response to climatic and pollution doses. The calculated responses are in agreement with those measured in the field during several campaigns of exposure of limestone and window glass in Paris performed during the same period; (5) the effective damage to limestone and window glass. The decreases of the potential and of the effective damage are quantified and mapped. They are driven by the decrease in air pollutant concentrations.
