dc.description.abstractThis paper provides the isolation and identification of airborne fungi from 6 different urban stations located in Edirne (Turkey). Samples were taken from air by exposing a Petri dish with Rose Bengal streptomycin agar medium for 15 minutes and then growing colonies were enumerated. Sampling procedure for fungi was performed 12 times in research stations monthly between September 1999 - August 2000. A total of 2481 fungal colonies were counted on 216 Petri plates in a year. As a result, 37 mould species belonging to 11 genera have been isolated. Of these, 5 species belonging to the Aspergillus and Penicillium genera are new records for Turkey. Alternaria citri and Penicillium asperosporum were the most abundant species in the study area. The relationships among fungal spore numbers, air pollutants [aerosols (it means particulate matter in air) and SO(2)] and meteorological factors were examined using statistical analysis. Relation between concentrations of SO(2) and colony numbers (r = -0.687) and, relation between temperature and colony numbers (r = 0.591) are significant statistically at 0.05 level according to Spearman Correlation Calculation (Non-linear).en_US
