In order to investigate the deposition chara.cteristics of water-soluble ionic components in dustfall in Kwangju city, dustfall samples were collected by deposit jar for one year from December 1992 to November 1993. The depositjon amount of dustfall and water-soluble ionic components ($SO_4^{2-}, NO_3^-, Cl^-, NH_4^+, Na^+, Ca^{2+}, Mg^{2+}, K^+$) were measured. The total deposition amount of dustfall was 10.0 ton/$km^2$/month and showed seasonal trend of Summer and Spring > Fall and Winter. The total deposition amounts of water-soluble components showed 2.41 ton/$km^2$/month and seasonal trend of Summer > Fall > Spring > Winter. Deposition amount of $SO_4^{2-}$ was 0.99 ton/$km^2$/month which makes up 41% of water-soluble components. The deposition amounts of dustfall and watersoluble components according to the sampling points were approximately similar to each other. From this result, it can be estimated that the deposition amounts of dustfall and water-soluble components in dustfall were more influenced by the seasonal variation than the regional emission characteristics of pollution source. The content of each ionic component to the deposition amount of water-soluble components showed in order of $SO_4^{2-} > Cl^- > NH_4^+ > Na^+ > Ca^{2+} = K^+ > NO_3^- > Mg^{2+}$ respectively.
