Detailed Solution

Lichens are widely used as pollution indicators.

Explanation:

  • Lichens are highly sensitive to air pollutants, especially sulfur dioxide (SO₂).

  • They absorb most of their nutrients directly from the atmosphere. Even slight increases in pollutants can damage or eliminate them.

  • Their presence indicates clean air, while their absence signals high levels of air pollution.
