An Investigation Of Fungus Inside Some Houses

Fungal spores can cause a range of health problems in humans such as respiratory diseases and mycotoxicoses. In order to estimate air contamination by fungal spores, air monitoring was conducted in some houses which were air conditioned. Sedimentation plate method was used for the detection of viable fungal spores. In this study, 10 species were trapped, isolated and identified. From five houses total ten fungal colonies were observed and identified and the rest which are not identified were kept as unidentified fungi. Cladosprium (16.56%) Aspergillus niger (15.38%) and Aspergillus fumigatus (14.20%) Penicillium (12.42%) were the dominant fungal species in the present experimental study than the other rest form of fungi.
