Indoor and outdoor microflora in the environment of academic buildings in the centre of Poznań was investigated and presented in this paper. A high and differentiated microbiological contamination of both indoor and outdoor air was found. Dominating microflora consisted of filamentous fungi (up to 55% of the total number of microorganisms) whereas contribution of bacteria has not exceeded 40%. In the outdoor air the prevailing microorganisms included bacteria: Micrococcus and Bacillus and moulds: Cladosporium, Alternaria, Penicilium and Aspergillus. In the indoor air bacteria including Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, Serratia and Bacillus and moulds: Rhizopus, Penicilium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Alternaria were dominating. Some of the fungi found are associated with several allergic diseases and they can cause different health problems.
