Studies on Fungal Aerospores as Potential Aeroallergens in Gondia, Maharashtra state of India

Abstract

The present study was undertaken to determine the impact of bioaerosol contamination in air and analyse functional relationships between composition of airspora and meteorological factors. Pearson correlation coefficient test relationship between bioaerosols and temperature, relative humidity and relative rains and two ways and the effect of different seasons and sampling stations on the bioaerosol contamination of air. The abundance of airborne spores shows distinct temporal patterns that persist across a mosaic of natural vegetation. Peak spore loads found during the Kharif season and lower spore abundance during Rabi season. Across spatial and temporal dimensions, microclimate is a stronger indicator of airborne spore concentration than vegetation type.
