Humans in many cultures have found uses for lichens â as food, fiber, medicine and poison, dyes, decoration, and, in some parts of the world, as perfume. Many kinds of lichen can be eaten; only a few are poisonous.
Lichens absorb everything from the air, including carbon dioxide and heavy metals. Scientists can extract the toxic compounds from lichens and determine the level of air pollution in a given area. The dying of lichens at a site is an early warning sign of harmful pollution.ichens Need Clean Air. Although lichens are tough and can survive in extreme climates, including extreme heat, cold and drought, they are sensitive to air pollution. Because lichens are so pollution-sensitive, some scientists use them to assess the air pollution coming from industrial plants and urban areas.
