Abstract
A 2 yr volumetric survey of the airborne fungi in the arid town of Arad [Israel, known for its high incidence of asthma in humans] revealed markedly lower spore concentrations than in the coastal region of the country. Low incidence prevailed throughout the year except for high peaks in Oct.-Nov., closely related to the distribution of Cladosporium spores. Air-spora composition, annual frequency and seasonal variation of fungal genera and species at the 2 sites were compared.
