The location of metallurgic complex, together with power plants and coke production in an urban centre, results in an appropriate atmospheric pollution part of which are organic compounds in a significant amount. A long-term exposit ion to some organic compounds may result in chronic toxic or genotoxic effects, so identification of such compounds means a necessity in planning of permanent monitoring. It was the aim of this paper. Concerning Lite nature of air pollution in this case, various classes of organic compounds were expected in atmosphere which caused a different sampling procedure to be applied. Samples were collected on glass fibre filters, activated charcoal, silica-gel Layers, on filters made of specially prepared coal tissue and in impinges filled with toluene. The identification was performed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography — mass spectrometry. Alkyl substituted phenols, alkyl derivatives of benzene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their alkyl derivatives, normal, branched and cyclic alkanes and alkenes, aminonaphthalenes, aliphatic alcohols and ketones and heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen and sulphur were identified.
