Abstract

Pollutants that lead to the air pollution can occur in very different forms. Therefore, developing an equipment which measures for each pollutants at night and day is highly difficult. Many of the pollutant measurements can be done in places known as pollutant source and for limited numbers of pollutants. However, we want to be sure that the air on our living area is clean. Because of that, a mesuarement instrument that is cheap, usable in everywhere and effective to a great number of the pollutants is needed. Especially epiphytic lichens that can particularly do this duty are very good agents. They are sensitive to the plenty vary of the pollutants, able to be found or brought everywhere. While the measurements of the devices for air pollution give instant information, the biomonitoring studies with lichens for a region inform belongs to long term period. Because of these reasons, lichens are the most employed biological indicator in air pollution biomonitoring studies in the world. In this text, the information and used methods were stated about the determination of the air pollution with lichens.
