Abstract
Molds and pollen allergies are common in the Washington, D.C., USA metropolitan area. Airborne fungi and pollen grains were studied throughout 1977 by weekly sampling for determination of prevalence of types of fungi and pollens. Dominant pollen types were oak (April), pine (April) and ragweed (Sept.), whereas those of fungi were Hormodendrum (June) and Aureobasidium (March).
