A summary of the international workshop on the influences of air quality on the Mayan Heritage Sites in Mesoamerica is presented. Professionals from Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, and the US met in Canum, Quintana Roo, Mexico, on October 16-20, 2005 to discuss the problem at a bilingual conference funded through a US National Science Foundation grant and through funding of Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Technologia (CONACyT). The workshop was organized by the researchers from Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Cincinnati and the Sección Ambiental del Centro de Ciencian de la Atmósfer de la Universidad Naciobal Autónoma de México (UNAM). The goal of the workshop was to explore the potential impact of the acid rain on the Meyan monuments, considering that the main construction materials were composed of calcium carbonate (limestone).
