Dear friends, please see the following sentence,
In late 1997, the chambers inside the pyramid of the Pharaoh Menkaure at Giza were closed to visitors for cleaning and repair due to moisture exhaled by tourists, which raised its humidity to such levels so that salt from the stone was crystallizing and fungus was growing on the walls.
this is OG question, OG explains "due to " is incorrect.
IMO, "due to" that follows nouns is ok here because cleaning is gerund as a noun and repair is noun,
I view them as nouns because they follow "for", if cleaning and repairing, then I will view it as action,
I have no idea about my fault, please clarify.
thanks a lot
have a nice day
