| Summary: | An aeromicological study was carried out to evaluate the behavior of fungal bioaerosols in the area of influence of Tres Ave María Park (Barranquilla). For the above, the CFU/m3 concentrations were determined, the taxa present were identified and their correlation with the meteorological variables and some atmospheric pollutants (PM10, PM2,5 and SO2) was evaluated. Sampling was carried out between January and June 2019, using a viable 6-stage Andersen type cascade impactor with Sabouraud Dextrosa agar. The highest and lowest concentrations of fungi were observed in March and January, respectively. The predominant fungi that were present in the study period were Penicillium and Aspergillus. Regarding Pearson's correlational analysis of fungal bioaerosol concentrations, a significant statistical correlation (p-value <0,05) was obtained with solar radiation; while wind direction and speed, temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure did not show statistically significant correlation (p-value> 0,05). Likewise, the air pollutants evaluated (PM10, PM2.5 and SO2) did not show a significant statistical correlation. Finally, it was found that the highest concentrations of bioaerosols occurred in stages 5 and 6 of the sampler, whose particle sizes are related to the terminal bronchial tubes (1,1 – 2,1 µm) and pulmonary alveoli (0,6 - 1,1 µm) |
