Present study has been promulgated to study pigment profile and chlorophyll degradation of lichen communities around thermal power plant. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoid, chlorophyll degradation was measured to evaluate the possible damage caused by pollutants of the area in lichens. In order to determine the impact of power plant, two morphologically diverse lichen species viz., Pyxine cocoes and Bacidia incongruens have been used for conducting biomonitoring studies around Tanda thermal power plant, Ambedkar Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. Correlations of various physiological parameters in lichen P. cocoes showed significant correlation (at p<0.05) of chlorophyll a with chlorophyll b (0.985) and negatively correlated with protein content (-0.958); while total chlorophyll content also negatively correlated with protein (-0.956). Besides that total chlorophyll showed highly significant correlations (at p<0.01 level) with chlorophyll a (0.998) and chlorophyll b (0.994); protein also showed negative correlation with all physiological parameters in P. cocoes. While in B. incongruens carotenoid showed negative significant correlation with chlorophyll a (-0.973), chlorophyll b (-0.598) as well as total chlorophyll (-0.858) at p<0.05 level. Total chlorophyll showed significant correlation at p<0.05 level (0.987) while carotenoid had negatively correlated with chlorophyll degradation (-0.927). Protein content showed negative correlation with chlorophyll b (-0.065) and carotenoid (-0.175). The study revealed that chlorophyll and protein content are an efficient physiological parameter can be correlated with quality of air. Overall pattern evident that both P. cocoes while B. incongruens showed more or less similar concentration of photosynthetic pigment and protein content. Both the lichen species showed increasing trend with the increasing distance from the thermal power plant.
