Answer:
The hardy lichens are useful bioindicators for air pollution, espeially sulfur dioxide pollution, since they derive their water and essential nutrients mainly from the atmosphere rather than from the soil. It also helps that they are able to react to air pollutants all year round.

Answer:
Lichens are regarded as pollution indicators because they are sensitive to sulphur dioxide (SO2) and do not grow in polluted areas. Their presence indicates the absence of pollution in an area, and their absence indicates that the area is polluted.
