Nepal is a country rich in natural as well as cultural heritages. Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal is itself called as the city of Temples. Nepal, the only place in the world where the living goddess lives Kumari. Similarly the sites like Hanumandhoka Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square and many others are listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. But recently these sites are negatively impacted by the climate change.
 nepaliblogger.com The Green House Gases like carbonmonoxide, Sulphurdioxide and other gases emitted by the vehicles and industries when gets in contact with the rain falls as acid rain principally the Carbonic and the Sulphuric acids. These acids corrode the walls of the sites and also react with the metals and deteriorate the sites. Thus, Concerns must be made regarding the climate change and its effect on these historical sites as they are the glory of our nation. |
