Handan　is　one　of　the　top　polluted　cities　in　China,　characterized　by　high　concentration　of　fine　particulate　matter　(PM2.5).　In　this　paper,　a　receptor　model,　i.e.,　the　Positive　Matrix　Factorization　(PMF)　model,　and　a　chemical　transport　model,　i.e.,　the　Mesoscale　Modeling　System　Generation　5　(MM5)　and　Models-3/Community　Multiscale　Air　Quality　(CMAQ)　model,　are　both　applied　to　apportion　the　sources　of　PM2.5　in　Handan.　It　is　concluded　that　regional　sources　contribute　36.0%　of　PM2.5,　and　within　local　sources,　the　contributions　of　major　emission　sectors　are:　22.3%　from　coal　combustion,　10.7%　from　metal　smelting,　7.3%　from　Zn-OC-B　a,　18.5%　from　industry,　11.3%　from　transportation,　10.6%　from　biomass　burning,　and　19.2%　from　dust　emissions.　It　indicates　that　regional　joint　air　pollution　controls　should　be　emphasized　in　the　future　control　strategy,　and　local　source　controls　on　coal　combustion　and　industries　are　the　key　points　to　mitigate　the　severe　PM2.5　pollution　in　Handan.
