dc.description.abstractWe aimed to determine the indoor airborne fungal concentration and diversity of a nursing home in Edirne City (Turkey). We sampled indoor airborne fungal sampling two times a month during 6 months period from 9 different places of nursing home. Also we investigated distribution of fungi as monthly - seasonal and relationship with meteorological factors. We determined 9.520 CFU/m3 fungal colonies by aspiration 21.600 L of air using 216 Petri plates for fungal isolation. The highest fungal counts were found in dining hall and the lowest in lounge. Also the highest fungal counts found in April and lowest in December. We determined 80 fungal species belonging to the 31 genera. The most appearing fungal genera were Penicillium, Cladosporium and Aspergillus and Penicillium genus had highest species diversity with 34 species. We determined Penicillium, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Mycelia sterilia and Alternaria in all months. Penicillium and Aspergillus genera were the most appeared in April and Cladosporium was in May. Correlation of Alternaria, Aspergillus and Cladosporium genera with temperature was found significant as statistics (?p<0.05). There are living old humans whose have generally health problems in nursing homes and determination of indoor airborne fungi in these places are important for prevent allergic reactions and potential fungal infections. © by PSPen_US
