Abstract Aerobiological analyses allow us to evaluate air quality, if we live in a city like Mexico City, it is common link with industrial, commercial and vehicle use activities, among others, this fact of such importance, since poor quality can cause wide variety respiratory diseases depending on the time exposure. The present work focused carrying out an aerobiological study six sites sampled at UAM-Azcapotzalco. A total 547 bacterial colonies 297 fungal were found. maximum averages obtained for bacteria dining room (22 UFC/m 3 ) football field (48.75 CFU/m ), while fungi highest concentrations recorded (11.25 library (20.22 areas. Analysis Variance showed that there are no significant differences open closed (p = 0.023), however geospatial analysis helped determine areas density microorganisms. constant monitoring bioaerosols, places high attendance people, contributes generation strategies minimize risks human health, avoiding highly contagious diseases, as pandemic derived from SARS-CoV-2, others. Finally, microenvironmental conditions growth microorganisms, suggest implementation vegetal covers natural surfaces inside outside centers, well improvements bio architecture, which would safe work.
