Abstract
The concentration of airborne fungal spores in a marketenvironment was examined to provide basic information needed to evaluatethe importance of varying levels and heterogeneity. Sampling has beencarried out by rotorod sampler and exposed Petri plate method to obtainthe quantitative and qualitative estimations respectively.Aspergillus was the most frequent and predominant genusdetected. Cladosporium, Penicillium and Alternariaspores were also fairly abundant which are well known as allergenic andpathogenic. The high concentration of airborne spores was recordedduring December–January. While the maximum concentration ofAspergillus was found during summer months in the marketenvironment.
