The objectives of this research were to characterize the chemical composition of submicron particles(PM
1.0
)over Xi'an during winter and to identify their sources. Daily aerosol samples(PM
1.0
)were collected continuously from Dec. 1st to Jan. 1st
2006
and the concentrations of 11 water-soluble ions(Na

and elemental carbon(EC)and organic carbon(OC)were determined in the filter samples. The mean PM
1.0
mass concentration was 149.7 μg m

. The total concentrations of 11 ions were 46% of PM
1.0
mass concentration
indicating that water-soluble ions were the major components of submicron particles. The average OC and EC concentrations were 23.7±10.27 μg m
-3
and 4.6±1.8 μg m
-3
respectively. an important contributor to the regional carbonaceous aerosol. Factor analysis on the eight carbon fractions shows that 45.3% of total carbon in winter was attributed to coal combustion and gasoline automobile exhaust
24.2% to diesel automobile exhaust
and 23.5% to biomass burning.
