dc.description.abstractThe purpose of our study is to determine the fungal numbers and type of air fungi in indoor and outdoor air ambient of three different mosques in Edirne City. Research materials were taken from indoor and outdoor environments of three different mosques in Edirne once a month during 12 months between October 2008 and September 2009. Samples were taken (in indoor and outdoor environments, 1 minute each of them and 100 liters) from selected stations by using Air Sampling Device (Merck Millipore Air Sampler, Germany). Fungi samples were taken from indoor and outdoor environments of each station approximately 1 m above. Identification of fungi carried out by classical methods such as morphology and colonial characteristics of fungi. 22 fungal genera and 69 fungal species belonging these genera were determined. Cladosporium genus was the most abundant among airborne fungi with 2338 CFU/m(3) (52.90%) It was followed by Penicillium genus with 875 CFU/m(3) (16.55%), Alternaria genus with 457 CFU/m(3) (8.64%) Aspergillus genus with 216 CFU/m(3) (4.08%). About Fungal genera and total microfungi concentrations during the study period, maximum value of fungal concentrations in indoor air was determined as 609 CFU/m(3) (11.52%) in mosque C in September and maximum value in outdoor air was determined as 961 CFU/m(3) (18,18%) at the same place in September. It was observed that fungi concentrations in three mosques were in healthy limit values. Considering whether there is a relationship between fungi and meteorological factors, it was determined that the Alternaria genus was not affected by any meteorological conditions.en_US
