The air is normally due to the intense light, temperature and water shortages and insufficient humidity, is not a suitable environment for growth of microorganisms. Thus, the prevalence off ungi in the environment, is dependent on the combination of small size, scattering and high concentrations of fungal spores and on the other hand, the concentration of fungal spores in the air is depends on various factors such as dry weather, meteorological factor, seasonal climate and vegetation type of the region. Organisms, including fungi, which are the air pollutants, can cause illness in humans or animals under certain conditions. This study aimed to find and evaluate of fungal flora in the university dormitory air of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in 2013-2014.Thiscross - sectional study was done using convenience sampling method in all floors and halls of girls and boys dormitories of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences in 2012-2013.On each floor two north and two south rooms, randomly selected for plate putting, meanwhile, three sites were selected in the hall way son each floor for plate putting. In total, 126 plates were placed inthese5dormitories (72 plates in the rooms, and 54 plates in hallways). In this study by placing126platesindormitories, 1203 number of fungal colonies was achieved.492 a colony was found in girls dormitories and 711 colonies was found in boys dormitories. Overall, maximum number of the isolated fungal flora, respectively including Cladosporium sp (81/41%), Aspergillus niger (47/10%), Fusarium sp (72/9%) and Penicillium sp (65/6%).
