Daily PM 10 and PM 2.5  sampling was conducted during four seasons from December 2013 to October 2014 at three monitoring sites over Yulin, a desert margin city. PM 10  and PM 2.5  levels, water soluble ions, organic carbon (OC), and elemental carbon (EC) were also analyzed to characterize their chemical profiles.  b   ext   (light extinction coefficient) was calculated, which showed the highest in winter with an average of 232.95 ± 154.88 Mm −1 , followed by autumn, summer, spring. Light extinction source apportionment results investigated (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4  and NH 4 NO 3  played key roles in the light extinction under high RH conditions during summer and winter. Sulfate, nitrate and Ca 2 +  dominated in PM 10 /PM 2.5  ions. Ion balance results illustrated that PM samples were alkaline, and PM 10  samples were more alkaline than PM 2.5 . High SO 4  2− /K +  and Cl − /K +  ratio indicated the important contribution of coal combustion, which was consistent with the OC/EC regression equation intercepts results. Principal component analysis (PCA) analyses results showed that the fugitive dust was the most major source of PM, followed by coal combustion & gasoline vehicle emissions, secondary formation and diesel vehicle emissions. Potential contribution source function (PSCF) results suggested that local emissions, as well as certain regional transport from northwesterly and southerly areas contributed to PM 2.5  loadings during the whole year. Local government should take some measures to reduce the PM levels.
