The efflorescences disfigure stone surfaces as well as damage the stone on hydration. The biological growths such as algae, bacteria, mosses, and lichens form unsightly encrustations and contribute toward the decay of stone. The deterioration of metallic enforcements produces damaging salts and seriously blemishes the stone surfaces. Stone Decay and Conservation: Atmospheric Pollution, Cleaning, Consolidation, and Protection Volume 11 of Materials science monographs, ISSN Volume 11 of Stone decay and conservation: atmospheric pollution, cleaning, consolidation and protection, Giovanni G. Amoroso, ISBN , AuthorsReviews: 1. The 14th International Congress entitled MONUMENT FUTURE: DECAY AND CONSERVATION OF STONE combines the world-wide community of scientists, architects, engineers, conservators, monument curators and. These investigations considered different aspects of stone decay in several types of stones used to construct architectural and monumental heritage, including (1) types of deteriorations, decay.
A stone preservative is intended to prolong the life of a stone by either restoring its physical integrity or by inhibiting its decay. Its use should not change the natural appearance or architectural value of the stone. There are two principal means by which stone can be preserved.

Preservation Of Stones Preservation of stone is essential to prevent its decay. Different types of stones require different treatments. But in general stones should be made dry with the help of blow lamp and then a coating of paraffin, linseed oil, light paint, etc. is applied over the surface. The Preservation of Stone The forces that erode stone in nature also erode it when it is used for buildings, and they are intensified by contaminants in the air of cities. The erosion can be retarded by novel chemical treatments stages of decay, will disintegrate.
Stone Conservation remains one of the most cited and down-loaded of the GCI’s books some fifteen years after it was written. A refreshingly opinionated work, its call to reform the focus and process of research was subsequently echoed and reinforced by other authors and institutions.

THE PRESERVATION OF STONE. By Noel Heatox, The preservation of building stones is, by common consent, one of the most baffling,- and, therefore, one of the most fascinating problems with wl^ich the technical, chemist is farced. In bringing the subject up for discussion once more to-night, let me say frankly at the outset. This book brings together papers by scientists, conservators and building surveyors active in stone decay and conservation research within the UK. It addresses issues of stone weathering, mechanisms and rates, the effects of urban pollution, cleaning methods, and the .
