Incidence of fungal spores around garbage depot of Mulund with reference to health hazards
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Air pollution is due to the presence of particulate matters e.g. varying mixtures of soot, ash, pollen grains, fungal spores, microscopic plant & animal fragments, dust etc. Aerobiologists have traditionally been involved in the measurement & reporting of airborne pollen & fungal spores as a service to allergy sufferers. Aerobiology, according to modern concept is a scientific multidisciplinary approach concerned with the source of the organisms, their release, dispersion, deposition and impact on human and animal systems. Many human allergic disease & seasonal allergic rhinitis are attributed to inhalation of airborne fungal spores. In garbage area due to decomposition caused by bacteria and fungus there is possibility of spreading spores in and around the human habitat. Aerobiological study to analyze airborne fungal spores around garbage depot of Mulund was conducted from January 2015 to December 2015. Identification of fungal spores was done using Gravity Slide Technique and Culture Plate Count Technique. The major fungal spores identified with this technique were Cladosporium,Alternaria, Curvularia, Aspergillus etc.
