Abstract
China's air pollution problem has become more serious and the impacts of various pollutants staggered. As the pollutant sources and the consequences of pollution are various, different governance measures have been taken for different pollutants. Meanwhile, the Environmental Kuznets Curve as a theoretical description of the environmental pollution and the level of economic development, its specific form is still to be demonstrated in practice. As an air pollutant with serious consequences, sulphur dioxide started being controlled in the last century. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the government has focused a special object on this project. Through the study of sulphur dioxide Environmental Kuznets Curve, this paper concludes that the country's sulphur dioxide emission has reached a situation where its emissions have increased rapidly with the economic development, but later entered a slow growth or a gradual decline, and in this process, the proportion of secondary industry and the foreign trade has a significant impact on the emission of sulphur dioxide. The paper provides a reference for the study of other air pollutants emission paths and counter measures.
