Abstract
The Taj Mahal has been in the news for the last years due to the installation of a huge petroleum refinery in its vicinity. This monument has an internal lining of plaster which has failed due to mechanical causes. Samples of plasters and mortars from these places were studied to assess their state of conservation. From the detailed physico-chemical and instrumental examinations carried out no evidence of active deterioration was found. -- AATA
