Abstract: In this work, samples of airborne particulates,vent gas and smog dust during heating and non-heating seasons were collected in the urban and suburban areas of Lanzhou. After extraction and separation, four kinds of components, such as saturated hydrocarbons, aromatics,non-hydrocarbons and asphaltenes, were obtained. According to the quantitative analysis, the results are shown as follows:(1)In the airborne particulates the concentration of organic matter during heating seasons is higher than that during non-heating ones.(2) According to the concentration comparisosn of four kinds of organic components among the smog dust, vent gas and airborne particulate in Lanzhou, industrial pollution, vent gas and smog dust are the main sources in Xigu, Panxuanlu and Tieluju, respectively.(3) In a word, the pollution in Lanzhou is mainly attributed to burning of coal, vent gas and indutrial release, which contribute different percentages depending on the particular seasons or areas.
