چکیده
This study was conducted by trapping airborne fungal spores inside and outside 15 residences in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, monthly from December 199 1 to September 1993. The dominant fungal propagules recorded indoors were Cludosporium (38.8%),Aspergillus/Penicillium (1 9.8%), Leptosphaeria (7.9%), unidentified basidiospores (6.5%), unidentified ascospores (2.8%), Ganoderma (2.6%), Alternaria (1.9%), Coprinus (1.8%), and Epicoccum (0.3%). Other unidentified spores (8.9%) and hyphal fragments (6.3%) also represented significant proportions of the total. Most common airborne spores were more numerous outside residences, except for those of Aspergillus/
