Abstract
Study of aerobiological bioparticles in the atmosphere of Devipatan region was carried out for a period of one year from January 2012 to December 2012. The air sampling was done with the help of Rotorod Air Sampler for 10 study centers of Devipatan region viz. Gonda, Colonelganj, Balrampur, Utraula, Pachperva, Jarwa, Tulsipur, Mankapur, Nawabganj and Shrawasti. The total number of bioparticles trapped on the tape was 75,210/m3 of air. The following aero-bioparticles were found dominant: Drechslera 20.64%, Crystals 14.73%, Smut Spores 11.76%, Cladosporium 7.94%, Nigrospora 6.62%, Alternaria 5.27%, Aspergilli 2.85% and Rust Spores 2.84%. Other forms include Protozoan Cyst 2.40%, Insect Scales 1.87% to the total aerospora.
