Abstract

In recent years, the economy of Tangshan achieved rapid growth, yet, the environment was polluted in greater degree. Based on Environment Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory, according to environmental quality in Tangshan and the statistics of GDP per capita from 2000 to 2009, environmental econometric model was built, and the coordination development of environmental pollution and economic growth were studied. The results show there is no obvious EKC relationship between other environmental indicators and GDP per capita of Tangshan besides industrial dark matter emission. The emissions of industrial waste water and industrial solid waste will continue to rise.
