The result showed that: in Xiangjiang vally, environmentalKuznets curve in the emissions of industrial waste water and waste gas presents aincreasing straight line, and the relationship between industrial dust emissions andeconomic growth had no significant correlation. That is to say, industrial wastewater and waste gas emissions in Xiangjiang vally still in the rising stage, the authorthen puts forward the measures to abate the environment pollution, such as adjustingthe industrial structure, perfectig management system, improving the environmentalprotection consciousness and so on as to realize the coordinated developmentbetween the economic and the environment in Xiangjiang vally.
