ABSTRACT
Mycological analyses were carried out on air samples collected with the sedimentation and impactor methods. Fungi were assayed in atmospheric air sampled in the city centre of Olsztyn and in the forest at Lake Kortowskie. The experiment aimed at evaluating the contamination of atmospheric air with fungal microflora in the city centre of Olsztyn (3 stations) and in the forest at Lake Kortowskie (one station), collected with the sedimentation and impactor methods. Differentiated population numbers of fungi, reported in the atmospheric air of the city of Olsztyn, appeared to depend, to a great extent, on meteorological conditions.
Key words: filamentous fungi, yeast fungi, atmospheric air.
