The present research analyzes the environmental fungi present in the different environments of the National Agricultural Library (BAN) located on the campus of the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina in Lima, Peru, during the months of October and November 2011. The determination of airborne fungi may be an important parameter to evaluate the internal air quality. Fungal spores are considered environmental components of libraries, many of which are responsible for causing adverse health effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of internal air BAN, in order to know the current situation and suggest improvement alternatives. It took a total of 468 samples in 13 rooms of the library which 11 are internal environments and 2 are external. The methodology used to detect fungal spores was through a microbial sampler team that sucks air volumes and permeates the spores in petri dishes with culture medium (Sabouraud agar), thus we obtained a qualitative and quantitative estimation of the presence of fungi in these environments; well was measured with a hygrometer, the temperature and relative humidity simultaneously with the sampling at each temperature as the growth and proliferation of these microorganisms are associated with these variables. Were identified13 genera of fungi in addition to yeasts, and mycelia Rhodotorulas not sporulate, the genera most frequently found in the 13 environments studied were, Cladosporium (67.85%), Alternaria (8.23%), Penicillium (5.11%), Aspergillus (3.40%) and Fusarium (2.41%). The concentration of fungi UFC/m3 expressed in both external environments were higher than all the interiors of the library. It can be concluded that the BAN presents environmental conditions of temperature and humidity, which favor the growth of fungi.
