Anaerobic environments, (I'm thinking of bogs and Dublin urban sites here,) are acidic by nature, concrete piles are full of lime, basic by nature, this is bound to have an effect on sites at a chemical level. I've no idea what it is but it can't be good.
Rembrandts have had acid thrown on them and holes cut in them - only by lunatics though . . .
