Assessment Of The Indoor And Outdoor Mycoflora Of Schools In Jabalpur City, India
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 5
Abstract
A survey for viable fungal spores in the indoor and outdoor environments of 60 school buildings in Jabalpur city was carried out with two-stage Anderson sampler from January to December, 2010. Air was sampled monthly at different five zones. 75 fungal spore identified belonging to 23 genera were observed. Out of which the class wise percentage contribution as; zygomycotina (3.22%), ascomycotina (0.83%), deuteromycotina (94.22%) and unidentified spp. (1.73%) was recorded. Deuteromycotina fungi were most dominant to the total fungal flora. Among them Cladosporiumcladosporieds (1666.2 CFU/m3 ) followed by Alternariaalternata (981.34 CFU/m3 ) and Cladosporiumherbarum (896.62 CFU/m3 ) &Penicilliumchrysogenum (896.62 CFU/m3 ). Maximum incidence was observed from February (1595.6 CFU/m3 ) followed by December (1320.2 CFU/m3 ) and November (1235.5 CFU/m3 ). Seasonally there was quantitative aerospora change in the incidence was observed. The total indoor and outdoor fungal spore counts have been statistically no significantly difference (t=0.45; P0.05) using STATA 11.0 base data analysis with Student ‘t’ test.
