Air Pollution Damage to Cell Membranes in Lichens- Results of Simple Biological Test Applied in Rijeka, Yugoslavia
A simple biological test developed by Pearson (1985) was applied to specimens of lichens collected within the Rijeka city area to determine their plasma membrane integrity. Two strains of lichens were tested: Parmelia tiliacea (Hoffm)Ach, a strain relatively tolerant, and Pannaria testacea Joerg, a strain more sensitive to air pollution. For comparison, the same test was applied to specimens of lichens collected at a coastal site in the vicinity of Rijeka as well as specimens from southern Norway. The obtained results on membrane damage are in good agreement with SO2 concentration data (where available) and determined lichen zones within city area.
