In polluted areas, lichens often exhibit signs of stress or decline, resulting in reduced diversity and abundance. They may appear discolored, with yellow, brown, or even black patches, and may have a crusty or shriveled appearance. Sensitive species tend to disappear, while more pollution-tolerant species may dominate, leading to changes in overall lichen community structure. Overall, the health and variety of lichens can serve as indicators of environmental quality in these regions.

How lichens indicate pollution?
lichens are sensitive to sulfur dioxide, they are biological indicators. The cleaner the air the more lichens will grow. Therefore if there are houses right by a road, if you look on the roof there would be less lichens as there would be more sulfur dioxide in the air because of pollution. Hope this helps By Troy Flynn
