Weathering steel, in spite of its resistance against the atmospheric corrosion can be damaged due to the affection of environmental stressors. In fact, the presence of soluble salts formed after greenhouse acid gases impact, can accelerate the corrosion process. In this work three weathering steel sculptures exposed to urban atmosphere were studied. Portable Raman assisted by reflectance infrared spectroscopy, micro X-ray fluorescence and ion chromatography were used to diagnose the decaying process suffered by these structures. The role of calcium sulfate formed in situ upon the reaction of SO₂ with calcite particles deposited on the surface of the sculptures was studied.
