This study examines the relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution in Turkey. The research uses annual time series data from 1970 to 2017. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Phillips-Perron (PP) unit root tests were used test stationarity of series. In this Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is as an estimation technique. Furthermore, classical additive decomposition method was forecast pollution. results indicate that has a positive significant effect on short-run but insignificant long-run. When long-run elasticities compared it found elasticity greater than which challenges validity Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis provides evidence against its existence paper suggests robust effective policies should be strictly implemented closely monitored reduce ensure preservation resources for future generations.
