Overview[edit]
The sulfate salts most frequently found on buildings and monuments are listed. The various salt phases are discussed in detail on separate pages, where their most likely origin and their potential deterioration action is discussed. Illustrations of their deterioration patterns are found in the Deterioration Pattern section and in some of the case studies.
