Abstract

Effect of some pollutants on Hypogymnia physodes lichen is investigated. It is established experimentally that most changes in the chemical composition of the lichen are caused by short-duration action of 32 and 65 % nitric acid and long-duration action (14-21 days) of low-concentration sulfuric acid (3 and 6 %).
