In order to study the characteristics and sources of heavy metals in aerosol in the coal mine area of eastern foot of Taihang Mountain,PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ samples were collected in Fengfeng mining area of Handan,China in 2017. The heavy metal contents in the sample were measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. The mean mass concentration of PM_2.5 in spring,summer,autumn and winter in Fengfeng mining area were 84、108、107 and174 μg/m³ respectively. The PM₁₀ mean mass concentration in spring,summer and autumn were 204,177 and 179 μg/m³ respectively. PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ mass concentration exceeded Chinese National Ambient Air Quality Standards (grade-Ⅱ),it indicated that air pollution in coal mining area was more serious. The ratio of PM_2.5/PM₁₀ in summer and autumn was obviously higher than that in spring,which may be related to the strong photochemical reaction in summer and autumn. The metal contents of Zn in PM_2.5 in Fengfeng mining area were the highest,and the contents of other elements from high to low are Pb,Mn,Cr,Cu,As,Mo,V,Sn,Ni,Cd,Co,etc. The content of Zn in PM₁₀ was the highest,followed by Mn,the contents of other elements ranged from high to low in order of Pb,Cr,Cu,V,As,Mo,Ni,Sn,Cd,Co,and so on. The enrichment coefficient of Cd elements in PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ in Fengfeng mining area was more than 100,which is seriously enriched and influenced by human activities. The enrichment coefficient of Mo,Pb,Sn and Zn elements were more than 10,which indicated that Mo,Pb,Sn and Zn were slightly enriched in Fengfeng mining area and were affected by human activities. The enrichment factors of As,Cr,Ni,V,Mn and Co were less than 10,which indicated that the seven elements of Cu,As,Cr,Ni,V,Mn and Co mainly come from the crust.
