Abstract
Fungal spores of an industrial area have been studied from October, 1987 to April, 1988. Several types of fungal spores including Alternaria, Aspergillus, Bipolaris, Haplospora etc., were trapped over the slides. Maximum spores were recorded in January and minimum in March. A correlation has been made between occurrence of spores and climatic factors.
