An Abandoned View

I believe the white spots on the floor are calcium deposits from the water dripping off the ceiling, often found in subterranean places.

I assume the calcium deposits in subterranean places comes from water leaching calcium out of stone and soil as it filters through those layers, but I wouldn't think building materials would have much calcium in them for the water to draw out. There's obviously *something* there for the water to absorb, though.

I hope anyone breathing in this place wore at least a dust mask due to what appears to be mold on the walls.

I think the leaching of the calcium is called "effluorescence". It also happens when concrete degrades due to moisture or damp, often found in basements.
