title: [Incidence of lichens in the area of the Hamburg airport].
abstract: It was examined whether the co-additional effect of kerosene and benzine influences the air quality and the population of lichens. These plants were chosen since lichens serve as important indicators of air pollution. It was found that exhaust gases from a much frequented highway influence the number and the variation of species of lichens, whereas near the runway some less common species were found. These results show that air traffic exercises less influence on the lichen population than the road traffic emissions.
