Abstract: 1 figure. 2 tables. [Transplants of Ramalina duriaei were tested for chlorophyll degradation. "No significant correlation was found between the content of total sulphur in the lichen and chlorophyll degradation. Correlations between chlorophyll degradation and the content of some chemical elements are suggested as being useful in interpreting the impact of air pollution on lichens."]
