A comparative study of the aeromycollora of thickly populasted and less populated areas of Rawalpindi were studied during Feb-April 2000.Agar plate method was used to trap fungal species. The investigation showed variations in number as well as in the composition of fungal species of these areas. Thirty one species belonging to twenty two genera were found in thickly populated areas and Twenty seven species belonging to twenty genera were isolated from less populated areas. Species of Aspergillus, Alternoria, Curvelaria, Cladosporium, Penicillium, Mucor, Rhizopus and Helminthosporium were dominant in the air of both areas. The genera of Acremonium. Arthobotrys. Geotrichum. Phytophthora, Trichocladium were found only in the thickly populated areas whereas Arthoderma, Hormodendrum. Epicocum. Trichothecium and Dreschlera were only present in the less populated areas of Rawalpindi..
