  • A.Air pollution
  • B.Soil pollution
  • C.Noise pollution
  • D.Water pollution

Lichens are the best indicators of air pollution, particularly sulphur dioxide.

They take their minerals directly from the air and rain, having no roots and no protective cuticle, so pollutants accumulate in them. Sensitive species disappear from city centres, and the pattern of what survives maps the pollution.
