چکیده
This paper takes the eastern China as an example, the relationship between environmental pollution and economic development is analyzed, and then the breakthroughs in the development path of EKC turning point are sought. Furthermore, the paper uses the environmental data of the eastern China from 1996 to 2007, with GDP per capita as an economic development index, and with volume of industrial waste water discharge, industrial waste gas emission and industrial solid wastes produced as environmental quality indices, to adopt EKC curve for data fitting, coming to the conclusion that eastern China can be basically explained by EKC curve theory. In the meanwhile, the result shows that the relationship between water environment and economic development is in accordance with the characteristics of EKC, and environmental pollution in eastern China has been in a rapid growth in recent years, which is not very optimistic.
