Abstract  Environmental magnetic measurements were carried out on the dustfall samples from Xi'an. These samples were collected in every month from January 2012 to December 2013 at XZ and XCA sites. The magnetic parameters (χlf, χARM, SIRM, FORC diagram and magnetic hysteresis parameters) indicate a relatively high concentration of ferrimagnetic minerals in Xi'an, dominated by multiple domain (MD) and pseudo-single domain (PSD) ferrimagnetic minerals. The concentration of magnetic minerals in XZ site is higher than those in XCA site, suggesting the different pollution sources in different functional district of Xi'an. The concentration of magnetic minerals has significant changes according to the seasons in each year, and the values rise from October to January of next year, and decrease in summer, which mainly not only come from the pollution of coal-burning, but also are influenced by the special topography and meteorological conditions.
Key words:  dustfall      magnetic property      pollution      Xi'an
