SURVEILLANCE OF AIR BORN POLLEN AND SPORES IN COLLEGE CAMPUS

Aerobiology is the study of dispersion of air microorganism, pollens, seeds, especially fungal spores which can create the infections in plant and human begins, Particles in the air are called Aerosols. Bioaerosols which constitute the airospora are algae, fungi, bacteria, viruses, pollen, etc. For the aerobiological studies one sampling methods were followed, During gravity slide method the slides were coated with Vaseline and were exposed for 2-3 days on the terrace. The Data were collected from November 2022 at site 1. (Department of Physics) Wing B. site.(Department of Physics) November. For morphological details pollen grains were observed under Trinocular fluorescence Microscope (Carl Zeiss) attached with camera. Pollen grains were identified with the help of specimen slides and available literature. Fungal spores were identified with the help of identification keys.
