Chapter one discussed the role of air pollution in damaging our cultural heritage and showed that, in general, emissions have reduced but also that the pollution is changing in its nature with the evolution of a new pollutant environment. The dominance of SO2 pollution has fallen and traffic derived pollutants have increased, creating a new multi-pollutant situation.

Acknowledgments
We are grateful to Thomas Gauger for his contributions to this chapter, and in particular for the mapping studies which he undertook as part of the CULT-STRAT project. We would like to acknowledge the enormous contribution of Jan Henriksen, formerly of NILU, Norway. David Dajnak and Sean Beevers (Environment Research Group, King’s College London) also made valuable contributions with their studies on pollution and soiling maps for London.
