Abstract

This paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation model of environmental pollution with the characteristics of "three dimensions", then calculates the environmental pollution comprehensive index of 28 industries of China manufacturing industry from 2001 to 2013, and analyzes the influencing factors of environmental pollution. It is concluded that the industries classified as light pollution are mainly high-tech industries and clean industries, the industries classified as moderate pollution are mainly heavy and chemical industries, and the industries classified as heavy pollution mainly consisted of pollution-intensive industries and some traditional means of subsistence manufacturing; there is a trend towards a further widening of the pollution discharge gap, both within the manufacturing industry and between different industries. Increasing the R&D investment, the proportion of clean energy and intensifying environmental regulation will help to reduce pollution emissions, while the capital to labor ratio, foreign investment, enterprise investment scale, will have negative impact on reducing pollution emissions.
