Abstract: The objectives of this study are to analyze and identified the airborne fungi isolated from atmospheric particulate matter. The fungal spores were isolated by using Total Suspended Particulate (TSP). The airborne fungi were identified through their morphology and micro morphology. Results from this study indicated that at least six types or species of airborne fungi have been isolated and identified from atmosphere of Kuala Terengganu areas. Penicilllium, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Fusarium one basidiomycetes and one unidentified fungus were obtained in the sampling areas. Aspergilllus were the most frequent fungi isolated from atmosphere followed by Penicillium and Cladosporium. Balai Polis Kuala Terengganu showed high occurrences of fungi compared to other places and indicated the area is most polluted compared to others places in term of biotic component contained in atmospheric particulate matter.
