Plastic pollution is affecting the Taj Mahal. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is known to be Asia's second most visited tourist place, post-Angkor Wat, in Cambodia. However, it is situated in the 8th most polluted city on the entire globe. Back in the 1980s, a petition was filed in the Supreme Court as to how the ivory-white marble of the monument was turning yellow.
