Description :
Microerosion meter (MEM) measurements of the surface height of the balustrade of St Paul's Cathedral, London, have been repeated in the year 2000 following earlier measurements in 1980, 1981, 1985 and 1990. The patterns show a general trend of decrease in erosion rates for the horizontal sites through the measurement period, both for each of the sites and for the successive means of all sites. The significance for environmental policy lies in the success of decreasing air pollution leading to lower rates of the deterioration of building stone.
