Can aggressive urban or agricultural pollutants impair the Lotus-Effect®?

Airborne pollutants do not damage the Lotus-Effect® because they do not come into direct contact with the StoLotusan coating. Such a contact reaction could only occur when mixed with rainwater, but as water is also unable to grip the surface and simply runs off, surface contact should not be a problem. Oily pollutants such as diesel can adhere to the surface and damage the Lotus-Effect®.
