【 摘 要 】

The study included a survey of the fungal pollutants prevalent in the libraries of the University of Qadisiyah. The study included the Central Library and the Library of the Faculty of Science, Education, Literature, Veterinary Medicine, Law, Administration and Economics. For the purpose of study swabs were taking from Books on the library shelves. Wipes were cultured on the Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) medium and incubated at 25 ° C for one week to observe and diagnose growth. The results showed that there was contamination in the books in the libraries mentioned above. The Faculty of Science library was the most polluted, followed by the Central Library. The dominant fungi were Aspergillus, followed by Pnicillium, Rhizopus, Alternara and Fusarium. The effect of antiseptics on this isolated exhibited in the libraries mentioned above was examined by using Formalin, Dettol, Hydrex, Povidon and Povidon-Iodine. The results shows that there is a danger to the workers and those who return to the libraries, which confirms the existence of an urgent need to prevent the danger of these fungi and find effective solutions.
